Milley is now aged 38 years or thereabouts being sound in mind and body and of healthy constitution and capable oflabor. She was set free for the consideration of 63 pounds 7 shillings and 3 pence paid by Milley Queen to William Bond; her freedom to take effect the next day. All of Milley Queen's issue born after she is freed will also be free and discharged from all claims of service or right of property by William Bond, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.
