Black, my wife, is insane. Her insanity is of less than two years duration
that her being at large is dangerous to the safety of the family and community

I R. S. Pemberton a practicing physician of the County of Sumner State of
Tennessee hereby certify that I have this day personally examined Sina Black
alleged to be insane and pronounced her so. She is about thirty eight
years of age. She is the subject of no infectious disorder. The
Disease is of about 12 or 14 months duration, is not subject of epilepsy
and I think her being at large is dangerous to herself and family and
disadvantageous to the community. She has not been treated for insanity.
