Dear Sir

Will you have the great kindness
to give me replies to the three following
questions as to the blacks whom you
know.
(1) Is a man forbidden or not to
speak to his wife's mother, or to
have any communication with her.
(2) Is there any such prohibition
of intercourse between a man
and his wife's father?
(3) Where there is any such prohibition
what is the penalty or supposed
consequence for disregarding it?

I am Dear Sir
yours very truly
