May 29th 1867

We the undersigned do certify that we have carefully read the answer of James M. Harris to a complaint made against him by Jno. Crittenden (Col'd), that the facts therein stated are true. 

We have lived on the adjoining plantation to Mr Harris for more than forty years and were as familiar with his treatment and management of his slaves as anyone could be. John Crittenden did no work of any kind for Mr Harris, from 1848 to 1865 and was more kindly treated and more petted during that time than any slave we have ever known.
