To all to whom this present writing shall come greeting--
Know ye, that I Jane Alexander of the County of Prince William desirous of aiding and assisting as far as lies in my power my daughter Mary D. Stith and her children of the same County as long as I live have loaned and by these presents do loan unto the said Mary D. Stith the use of Matilda a negro woman during my pleasure or so long as I may live then to be returned, with any increase she may have in order to a division among my children (she being one of my dower slaves) as directed by the will of my late husband Gerard Alexander deceased as will appear by a reference to said Will. In testimony whereof I have this 26 day of March 1823 affixed my hand and seal.
