This is an old antique letter. I comes encased inside of a real wooden display case. In trying to transcribe all four sections of this trifold government document on contraband slaves being returned, I have marked certain words that were not visibly discernable to me with 2 question marks. One at the beginning of the word or statement and another question mark at the end.
