Morris, also the Grandson of Lewis Morris, providing him with financial up-dates in the South, 8vo. 4 pages, Pelham, January 27\" [1860], in part: ...The Plantations sold higher than we expected, but will you get the money for them, I am so glad you had nothing to do with the Bluff house or Plantation, as they would have said you kept Mrs. W out of it, to get it yourself, she has got all she said she would have. and I did not think Mrs. W. would ever prove herself so unprincipled as she has. What would your honorable father say...would he look down upon her? Do sell the Hope (Plantation)... you will never hold it. I should not like to be Lewis with, the General on one side and Mothers on the other. Poor Grandma's little Vinesa... how much trouble she was giving you when she made you Executor. You have a kind friend in Mr. F. - only keep cool...come what may. The most disrupting act you have to perform is selling the poor [slaves]. I hope you will be able to get them good Masters. Kiss the girls for me when you see them and tell them I am quite well. I have just received a letter from Mr. Pignet requesting me to remove John (an elderly slave)...which I shall do, he says he does not impel him, but thinks it best he should have. Tell Mr. P. he must not be too strict with John as he is too old, nothing but kindness will do, he says he will go to heaven and I think he will if you push him too hard...\""},{"label":"Creator","value":"H.
