I, the undersigned, certify that, in accordance with the arrangements made between the Trist brothers and myself, we have, by mutual agreement, freed the two children of the negress Katy. To wit: Sam, a six-year-old mulatto and Fine, a three-year-old mulatto, and that this is done without harming the rights of my minor children, who have received from the Trists the equivalent of their value.
