Dear Sir, 
In regard to Andrew Jacksons rights to Lizzie Jackson I contend that he has no rights or claims on her. Her Mother belonged to me at the time of her bearth some twelve or thirteen years ago. He never married her mother so she is an illegitimate child. The laws passed upon the subject of Legalizing all negro marriages whare the parties are liveing to-gather as man an wife cant touch this case, as her mother is deceased. 
Her Mother died when Lizzie was eight or ten months old (as well as my memory searves me) My Mother took her in the house & raised her & she has bin a round her fed & Chothed ever since. Consequently
