Freedmen's Bureau Records: Annie E. Branham to Thomas P. Jackson, July 10, 1867

Summary:
Annie Branham states that she will wait until her accounts with her servant Joshua are examined by "disinterested persons" before she takes further action, but maintains that she owes him nothing.


Mr Jackson

I did not give Joshua an order & shall not do anything further in the matter until the whole matter is investigated by disinterested persons. My accounts must be examined to see that they are correct. If so--I am not owing Joshua anything--If I choose to give him the board of the boys I can do so, but I will not be forced to support servants and take all their impositions passively.

Yours Respectfully,

Annie E. Branham

Please send Joshua to me
