1858 and Misc. Slave and Free Black Permission Slips

St Augustine 30th Nov 1840

 

Colonel Twiggs

2d Dragoons

 

Esteemed Sir:

 

I a directed by the Mayor and Aldermen in Council assembled to inform you that they have received your letter of the 8th November 1840, and that the whole matter alluded to in it, was referred to, and taken up the Grand Jury.

 

The investigation by that Body has resulted in an indictment against Moses a free black man; and the release from confinement of Negroes George and Joe belonging to Mr. I M Hanson.

 

In returning thanks to you for your attention in bringing to the notice of the authorities of this City anything by which the Guilty may be found out; I beg leave to call to your recollection, that in all the excursions of wild Cat the Chief actor was a Mulatto fellow of the name of Joe Walles; he is of middle size, thick set, and stutters, and is a runaway from Misquito county.

 

My dear Sir; the highest considerations of Justice recommend that the said Mulatto fellow Joe Walles should be taken alive; have him alive, and we shall know the Guilty in this and other places.

 

Wishing you success

I remain truly

your obt. Servt.
