(ESTATE APPRAISAL LISING SIX SLAVES)
An early partial appraisal of an estate 1p. 8vo., Louisiana, Dec. 20, 1819, listing five slaves and their prices. Instead of listing the slaves individually, the executor itemized each individual's purchases, whatever they may be in the order in which they were purchased. In part: "...Wheate [sic] cases & casks $26.50 four Negroes $400.00 [total] $1126.50...one Negro boy $300.00...". Encapsulated in archival tissue, trimmed at top and bottom, very good.
