Dr Sir,
When I had the mulatto child recorded I mistook
the name her mother calls her Luisa & is so pleased
with the name that she will not alter it. If
there should be no impropriety in it I will
thank you to change Lucy the name I gave her
to L[unclear] Luisa as a varience between the record
& the name by which the person was known has
been made a cause of setting them free & oblidge

yours &c
Natl Breading

R. W. Lain Esqr
