- Abstract:
- sent from Blakely to her son at Hallowells in Alexandria: interesting discussion about the sale of a slave, Jesse, for $250, provided good security is given on the purchase notes. Also, in discussing Mount Vernon, his mother says "I am anxious my dear Augustine you would carefully avoid all unnecessary expense either for yourself or M.V. It will be very disturbing to me to find large accts created which I shall find it inconvenient to meet."
