Contents discusses sale of slave Tom, "I now (per Rockaway) send to your care the man Tom…I think if Tom was to look out himself for a purchase it might be advantageous, as he is naturally intelligent, can read and write, a good cook, barber and carriage driver and but for his lameness, would command a high price.
