Robert Carter Nicholas to Major Wilson Cary Nicholas, Jr., in the process of negotiating the purchase of a small sugar plantation near [Bringiers, Louisiana?] responds to Wilson's question about his proposed purchase of all the enslaved laborers in [Heron Fenlow & Company?]. Nicholas urges him not to encumber himself with any that are old or infirm, such as Jonas, Baylor and Phoebe, because of the harshness of the climate would make them a source of expense rather than profit. He also discusses the enslaved laborers he brought with him that were not included in the purchases from Patterson & Cabell and his concerns about the propriety of bringing them with him, especially as concerns the Trustees. At the end of the letter, there is a list of the enslaved laborers currently with Robert C. Nicholas, their ages, and evaluation by Major Perkins., 1821 September 03
