Manuscript DS, signed “Benjamin,” one page, 7.5 x 10.75, no date. Manuscript slavery document stating, in part: “The defendants offer in evidence the record of the First…to prove that the mortgage given by Mrs. Lefebre to her son produced nothing…having absorbed the entire proceeds of the property. It is admitted that at and before and since the sale of the slaves by Mrs. Lefebre to her son, they have lived together and that the slaves were her domestic servants.” In very good condition, with overall light toning, light show-through from bold writing on reverse and three horizontal folds.
