Abstract
The oversize folder contains teacher's certificates, a list and oath of taxable property, an address, and a map belonging to the Johnson family, who were free people of color and their descendents.

The three teacher's certificates (dated 1873-1875) belonged to Anna and Josephine Johnson for their efforts teaching primary education to freed African Americans in the Natchez Public School System.

The list and oath of taxable property for Robert McCary, a free man of color, is dated May 1, 1866 and includes the value for four lots of land, a clock, furniture, and a piano from the estate of William Johnson.

The broadside contains a printing of a speech entitled "Address Delivered Before the Good Samaritan Society, of Natchez Miss., on Their 12th Anniversary, Tuesday July 11, 1876." Theodore H. Greene delivered this speech to the African American community of Natchez, Mississippi in celebration of their 12-year anniversary of freedom from the institution of slavery.

The colored map was printed by Rand McNally & Co. of Chicago in 1875 and shows the railway system of Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
