Respty returned to Col. O. Brown Asst Com'r.
These children were bound on the 30th of Aug 1865. to Mr Bayly by Lieut A. S. Dial.
The mother and children were inmates of Govt Hospitals here for several months — drawing Govt support which was given at intervals. also to the father (Marshall)
Mr Bayly hired the mother for twelve (12) months at fifty dollars ($50.) and paid R.R. fare of herself and the four children from this City to Fauquier Co.
The father (Marshall) was cognizant of the whole transaction and at the time gave it his approval.
The mother was considered as a freedwoman of superior intelligence and merit and was anxious to get back to her former home in Fauquier Co.
This Marshall evidenced here no disposition to make provision for the family beyond a desire to have them return to Fauquier Co and certainly disremembers his course here in intimating that the mother acted without his full knowledge and assent.
