Dear Sir

In reference to yours of the 10 inst, will state that the said Max Mason, (colored) did work for us a number of years ago. As did his father occasionally, the family lived close to us. Father and Mother, both dead, two (2) sisters live at Town Creek, Ala. who are well thought of by white and colored in fact they come of a good class of darkies, the only fault we could see, when any one imposed on them they would fight but not inclined to give trouble to anyone—the father the same, but otherwise they were industrious, polite, honest and always ready to help any one when in a tight, the sisters both think the world of each one of the family. Trusting this communication will be some benefit to Max.
I beg to remain yours Resp.
--Thomas L. Marshall--
