NARA 177 I am willing to trust them you surely ought to be. The reasons why I make this request are as follows: 1st The expense that I would have to incur. 2nd I am unacquainted in Bowling Green and the danger of my being swindled out of my money is greater there than here, where I am known. 3d I live some distance from this city and may not get the notification of the time when the agent will be in Bowling Green, in time to meet him there. 4th My health is very bad and on that account I would be unable to go to Bowling Green. I could hardly get to this city to day For the foregoing reasons I hope you will comply with my request. Although a negro I have sense enough to take care of myself and am not afraid of being cheated out of my money here & neither of the above named parties will wrong me. Respectfully Parthena Moseley her x mark Subscribed before me by the said Parthena Moseley Apl 28 /77 P Landy Moss Hopkinsville City Co.
