Not wishing my negroes to know of my intention to sell lest they might slip off or be out of the way when wanted, you will see the reason that no name was attached to the advertisement lest they might hear of it. The woman is a good cook and washer and of a very fine disposition and her child likely, the negro man cannot be surpassed by any, is a clout likely fellow, the girl I shall not warrant sound as I did not purchase her for a sound negro., No date
