Thompson, Secretary of the Navy, dated November 19, 1877 which detailed a fight over the access and use of a house once owned by Mary Rose, a black woman of Warrington, who had donated it to the local Catholic church for use but which was being held up by debts which remained after he death. A black man named John Campbell represented her estate and held the bills owed and was keeping the property locked up until the Catholic Church, under local authority of a Father Lane, had dealt with the accounts. The commanding officer notes that locals would often bring such matters to the Navy office instead of going to lawyers as they felt there would be more direct authority to back up actions. The letter's pages are frail, thin to the point of transparency, and are eaten away at some points by rust due to the iron based ink used in penning the correspondence.The page numbers of the ledger appear on the upper right of each page.
