Whereas, A dozen of my wsyward isis
ters" did, on certain day, elope from my
boarding house, with a wort bless scam
named Southern Confederacy, <so-called

housekeeping for themselves in a ricketl
shanty, situated South of the homestead
and
Whereas. this shanty was built on my
land which I inherited from old Puritan
Father. And whereas, the aforesaid isis
tiers" have become greatly reduced in cir
cumstances insomuch as to be in want of GER
! tain necessaries, such as tea, bacon and
dimity; and
Whereas. the rebellious spirit of portion
of these SISTERS" has become subdued-
they having repented of their transgressions
and become con verted to the true Abrahsmic ic
faith.
Therefore I, in the sweetness of my tenn,
per, and Ia the magnauimity of my gener-
GUS nature, do ordain, promulgate, set forth
and let fly the conditions upon which they
may be received again into my bosom.

mated housekeeping" and deliver the
same within thirty days at Fortress Monroe

chattels called negroes mullatoes. quadroons
or other property, or a mixed or cclored
nature, are required to paste over cir two

Thrd-As the said "Sisters," after thew

The above terms having been complied
with. the following oath or affirmation, if |
