Motley to Dr. Sangster of Moorefield conditioned that he should deal with her humanely; find and clothe her properly, give her such Education as the law directs, and at her arriving at the age of 18 years to give her an outfit and $25. Persons in Moorefield who know Dr. Sangster universally state that he is a christian gentleman and that the family treat her kindly and that the girl is now far better provided for then she could be with any of the colored people in that neighborhood.
