their satisfaction. It is well known, that my elopement was by his own consent
and free will, and the cries of three small children, for something to eat,
which I could not bear to hear. He has not provided victuals nor cloathing for
his family this five years past; and had it not been for my near connexions, we
might have starved.—At the time he advertised me, I went, by his consent, to
my sister’s and took my children with me, purely to supply the present need
and stop the cry for bread, and returned home again before I knew anything of
the matter. So much out of character has his conduct been, that its beneath any
of the human species but those of his own character. He says that I have a bond
for 160 acres of land; all the lands, and negroes and property, that he has was
mine, part of which he has sold, and spent the money to no advantage to himself
