I want you Judge Chatman or Richard B Purdurn to write to me so that I may know what to depend upon. I want what the law allows me and one that shortley as I am blind and cant attend to business.
I stand in great need of my part I have since the old negro woman and is living to myself. My husband was blind for 25 years before he died and I think that I ought to have the ole negro woman and girl to wate on me as long as I live as my husband all ways told me that if I was a longer liver than him that the negroes should wate on me while I lived. Tho he died with out a will I want to know how long before Mr Lazrus Vann is obliged to settle with the Legitees. I consider myself very much neglected.
Be so good is to write to me on the subject for I am anxious to hear what can be don either for or against me. Yours with respect.
Signed: Sarah Chisam
