The President of the United States to the judges of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, sitting for the County of Washington, greeting:
Because in the record and proceedings as also in the rendition of the judgment of a plea which is in the said Circuit Court before you or some of you, between Sarah Ann Allen for herself and children Eliza Jane, Julia Maria & John Davey, Petitioners, and Joseph Wallingsford defendant, a manifest error hath happened to the great damage of the said Joseph Wallingsford as by his complaint appears.

Witness the Hon John Marshall, Chief Justice of the said Supreme Court.
