I sent an orderly to Mr John Morris for the
children Delsey & Henrietta, Mr. Morris produced the children. and
told them to go with the orderly. that they were going to their mother. The children shrieked and ran to Mrs Morris clinging to her dress.
and to the children of Mr Morris. weeping and begging that they would not allow them to be taken away. When the orderly attempted to take one. she
broke from him and ran and concealed
herself and could not be found.
Mr & Mrs Morris and their children were all weeping.
