with the negroes at home after Jerry
Smith went off & agreed with them
to stay with me & do as they have
been doing to work & attend to
their business as usual & I am

usual, & all the plantation the
same thing & the overseer
was present there. they all
agreed to attend to their busines
at home as usual. JWGraves

times. Lilas fix was such I did
