Scope and Contents

Harrington just arrived here, and finds all in good health and spirits. Father John Rosti?, C.M. has not yet returned. There was no opportunity to write Timon from Brazo yesterday. He met Judge Moore there and talked with him of his negro man previous to the sale. More said $800 was his price. After the sale Harrington requested Moore to let Timon know his lowest price. The negroes sold very high so Harrington did not bid for any. Luke sold for $730; Henry, $1000; The woman, $900; the girl, $650; 1 boy about 10 years, $450; 1 boy 8 years, $350 or thereabouts. The negroes at Jackson were hired for $160, the purchaser assuming all risks, furnishing clothing, and many other conditions. Nothing in particular done here since there is no iron here fit for crowbars or sledges. Father John Boullier, C.M. is to send to St. Louis for it tomorrow by John Doyle: Boullier? will write to Timon in a few days. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
