Letter signed S.R. Shrader, St. Louis, Mo., to Colby Shrader, Brownsborough, Oldham County, Ky. I find we can sell only a small lot of bandy in this place--a good article could be sold for $1.25 not more. Therefore, if you can sell what you have in Louisville at anything like a fair price I would do so. Tell John that it is important that the negroes that I have here should be sent off and there is danger in leaving them here much longer--I am getting nothing for these services--tell him delay is dangerous. Individuals mentioned: Heffeman. Places mentioned: New Orleans, Louisville, and Liberty., 1846 Jan 12, Box: 2, Folder: 1. Saint Louis History Collection, A1427. Missouri Historical Society Library and Research Center.
