Captain
James Harris (col'd) left his wife Elizabeth and
child at this place and went to Danville.
He writes to her from that place, Sept 23 / 27,
stating he had found a home and would
send for her to join him. Since, Elizabeth
has not heard from him and asks enquiry
be made for him and he either send for send for her
or return her to take care of her.
He speaks in his letter of his "uncle John's
people" at Danville, which may be a clue
to his whereabouts
