Samuel Plaisted correspondence, 1838-1842.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/301975403

Correspondence from Thomas Maskell, Judge Joshua Baker, and William T. Palfrey of Franklin, St. Mary Parish, La., concerning the settlement of the estate of Plaisted's brother, a lawyer in St. Mary Parish. Maskell, who apparently purchased the slaves belonging to Plaisted's brother, promises to govern them by threatening to sell them rather than by whipping them for sullenness or lack of cooperation. Baker requests Plaisted hire for him a lumber foreman, a teamster, and men who understand rafting.
