Victória, a woman of mixed ancestry and mother of three children—a 12-year-old daughter, a 6-year-old daughter, and a 6-year-old son—in wishing to give an education to her children, claims that her former master Marcos Leão Velloso, owner of the sugar mill nearby, refuses to let these children attend school, as he prefers to have them work in the sugarcane as if they were slaves and subject to punishments. Felicidade, an African woman, also requests that her grandchildren be freed from the same owner. Since Velloso's actions are an attack upon the natural right of liberty ensured by the act of the 13th of May [1888] that ended slavery in the Brazilian Empire, I request the help of Your Excellency in this matter. I am certain that you will help, if only because these women wish to educate their children for the benefit of the nation."
