Letter to excuse an enslaved person leaving without a permission slip
Letter to Ms. Putnam explaining how "Peyton" was given a mistaken slip of paper instead of the pass written for them. Both the mistaken paper and the slip were sent to Ms. Putnam to better explain how this mishap could have taken place. This explanation was sent "to save the boy from a whipping" and in hopes to be enough without a fine.
