I was finally allowed to leave the room I was being held in and got to meet the other slaves being held here. Clemens Ray, Eliza Berry, and Eliza’s children. Eliza was married to a white man who promised to set her free after he died. after he died his son in law sold Eliza and her children to Burch breaking the promise. The whole time we were there we had to stay in this dirt yard with little cover with nothing more to do then talk.
