have lived inside of the federal line since the evacuation of Yorktown by the rebels & know nothing of the acts of Mr Lee since he left his farm. I protested against these affidavits to Mr Lee who has seen them since and they acknowledge that they was not aware of what they were swearing to & say it was a trick of Bollivar Shields the County Clerk. They are both ignorant can neither read nor write as I am told. I would recommend that their affidavits be not respected
