[1] This document is a part of the Freedmen and Southern Society Project’s collection at The University of Maryland.  The letter’s author is writing President Lincoln to get clarification regarding her status with regard to the Emancipation Proclamation.  Since the letter was written in August 1864 ( three months prior to the abolition of slavery in Maryland) and slavery, in accordance with the provisions of the proclamation, was protected  in the loyal slave states, Ms. Davis was still “legally” a slave.
