Description

The Maryland signer exiles a slave: “My grandson complains of his getting drunk”

ALS signed “Ch. Carroll of Carrollton,” one page, 6.25 x 7.75, January 9, 1827. Letter concerning one of the slaves at his Doughoregan Manor plantation, Paul. In full: “I send Paul to the Manor as my grandson complains of his getting drunk; he is to be under Mr. Deane and being of a weakly constitution, I would have him kept at getting out wheat, and in severe cold or rainy weather not to work out. Next Saturday send to my grandson a barrel of superfine flour. As it rained all day yesterday and the snow is melting fast I presume the country & merchant mills have now plenty of water.” In very good to fine condition, with moderate intersecting folds and slight blurring to a few letters of text. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
