firmly bound unto the State of Missouri
in the just and full sum of four hundred
dollars for the true payment of which said
sum of money we bind ourselves one and
each of our heirs executors administrators
and assigns jointly and severally firmly
by these presents sealed with our seals and
dated this the third day of May in the year

The condition of the above obli-
gation is such that whereas the said Felis

more effectually to prevent free persons
of color from entering into this State and
for other purposes" approved the twenty
third day of February in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and forty three. Now if the said Felicite
Crockett shall be of good behavior du-
ring the continuance of said license
then the above obligation to be void
