Sir

I have the honor to inquire whether the proviso in Section 4 Chapter 40 Laws of N.C. passed by Genl Assembly Session of 1866 - to the effect - that former Masters shall have the preference in the binding of Colored Apprentices is still in force or whether as I understand is repealed by Sec [[3rd?]] of the Act entitled "An Act to amend the 5th Chapter of the Revised Code entitled Apprentices" which repeals all laws & parts of laws discriminating between Whites & Blacks in the apprenticing of children.

Very respectfully

Transcription Notes:
I'm unsure of the original transcribers [[30?]] and have edited to [[3rd?]] Its obviously an overwrite and the writing underneath looks like 1st or something similar. But I'm still unsure. I can't find the original Act to help try and confirm so have left it in [[?]] -@siobhanleachman changed dates to 1867 (orig. transcribed as 1869)
