Sir
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your last enclosing Returns for May &amp; a List of Negroes &amp;c together
with appropriate remarks. I have to thank you for the observations you have made which throw much light
upon the subject. I am aware of the enormity of the rent but what can a man do when he can do no better.
I was much surprised at George coming to me the other day &amp; soliciting to be sent to the White House
saying he would rather suffer with his family than to be without them. I shall send him down by Larry the
moment my Harvest is finished when you can bestow on him an ample correction &amp; thus the affair will end.
The rascal vexed me the more [&amp;] I had determined to put myself to some trouble in getting him a good
master. I wish you to put me up two Beeves in time for the Winter as I shall have to trouble you to salt them
for me since I have none at this place. We are all washed away here by incredible rain, such never were
known before &amp; have done vast injury. I am pleased to see you have so fine a stock of hogs. I shall send

�you a Boar of [?] breed as soon as I can make it convenient. Had I a vessell or could I afford to buy one I
could supply you with many usefull things, but at present it is so hard to get a Skipper to go up the River
unless it is for a full load of grain I would advise selling the Mare &amp; two Colts for 300$ if it can be obtained &amp; I
send you the pedigree accordingly.
I Remain Sir
Your Very Obt
George W. P. Custis
Pedigree
Atalanta was gotten by Rockingham, dam by Old
Fearnaught, gran dams by Jolly Roger out of
the thoroughbred Imported Mare Lady Kingston
I certify that this pedigree was given me by Wm Thornton the original proprietor of the said mare.
Signed
George W. P. Custis
of Mt Washington

Whereas, in pursuance of a decree of the Court of Chancery held at Huntsville for the 29th Chancery District
of the State of Alabama, made at the special term of said court, held on the last monday in January 1854 in
a cause therein pending, between Samuel Townsend [1] and John E. Townsend executors of the last will
and testament of Edmund Townsend [2] deceased, complainants, and Henrietta Johnson and others
defendants, the said Executors were ordered and directed to sell at public auction, the real estate and
personal property belonging to the estate of said decedent, and whereas, amongst the slaves belonging to
said estate, there are two female slaves, named Elizabeth M aged about fourteen years and Virginia aged
about eleven years, whom the said testator by his will, acknowledged to be his children and the undersigned
heirs at law, and distributees of the estate of said decedent, in order to prevent the said female slaves from
falling into the hands of strangers; and that their condition of slavery may be ameliorated, as far as possible,
We, Thomas Townsend, Samuel C. Townsend, Henrietta Johnson, Muntford R. Townsend, Parkes S.
Townsend, Jones D. Crow, &amp; Upton S. Crow
of the one part and Samuel Townsend and John E Townsend of the other part, do hereby covenant and
agree amongst ourselves, and with each other, that

the said Samuel Townsend &amp; John E Townsend, may and they are hereby authorize to purchase, at the sale
now in progress under said decree, the said two female slaves to take bills of sale therefor, and hold them
as slaves, subject to the restrictions and limitations hereinafter specified. And we the said parties of the first
part hereby covenant and agree, that neither of us nor our heirs, executors or administrators, shall or will at
any time exact or require of or from the said Samuel Townsend &amp; John E. Townsend any part or portion of
the purchase money for said female slaves, beyond or exceeding our respective distributive shares as heirs
at law as aforesaid | of the sum of two thousand dollars. And we do further covenant and agree with the said
parties of the second part, that if any suit or suits or other proceedings shall be commenced or instituted by
the said female slaves or either of them, or on the part of the descendent or descendents of either of them,
or by any person or persons, on their behalf, or under any pretence whatsoever, for the recovery of their
freedom, or of any part of portion of the property or estate of said testator, that we will, in proportion to the
interests which we and each of us have or may have in said estate, pay our respective portion of the costs &amp;
expenses attending the defending of such suits or proceedings.
And the said Samuel Townsend and John E. Townsend for themselves, their heirs, executors, and
administrators

�[Page 3]
do hereby covenant and agree in consideration of the premises, to hold said female slaves as slaves to
[following text between brackets struck through] {keep them in their possession, and not to permit them to go
beyond the limits of the county of Madison in said State, to treat them with humanity and provide for their
maintenance and support, to give them household duties to perform and not under any circumstances to
pick or cause them to be put at work in a plantation as field hands.} that they will not, at any time or under
any circumstances, sell, or otherwise dispose of them, or emancipate them or take any steps or institute any
proceedings having their emancipation in view, or cause, or consent that any such proceedings shall be
instituted or steps taken by others either for said female slaves or their descendents, until after the expiration
of such term of years, as by law any proceedings for the recovery of said property shall be by law, effectually
barred.
And the said parties of the second part do further covenant and bind themselves to defend to the utmost of
their ability and with due diligence all such suit or suits or other proceedings, which may be instituted by the
said female slaves or either of them, or the descendent or descendents of either of them, for the recovery of
their freedom, or any part or portion of the property belonging to the said testator at his death, and to use
their utmost diligence in defeating any such recovery, they

the said parties of the first part, paying according to their respective interests in said estate, a just and equal
proportion of the expenses of such defense.
It is further agreed between the parties to this instrument that if it shall contain a stipulation or impose any
liability on any of the parties hereto, beyond what is plainly expressed herein, that the same shall be
reformed in such particular, and further that this instrument shall be submitted to S. D. Cabaniss &amp; Hugh L.
Clay, attorneys at law for their opinions &amp; advice thereon.
The clause on the other page marked within brackets was erased before signing.
