Scope and content:

Upset at her last letter. Delighted with things for baby. Not ill-crossed brat. My grandfather would not be able to sell "Oak Hill." I hear "Ash Field" was not sold. Egbert Watson is still here. Shall be sorry to see all the negroes sold. So do not propose to me to take them for in the first place I would only buy them in . If I took them at all as any other bidder.
