The pay and muster roll lists 118 named slaves and records the hours they worked, their monthly pay, the amount paid, amount due, etc. These freedmen are listed with their adopted surnames. On the payroll is a note to the effect that the slaves (referred to as "the Hands") were discouraged by the wet weather and are likely to not perform as well under such conditions.
