Sarah G. Williams and M. Stanly Papers, 1848-1849

File — Box: 4250.001, Folder: 14

Scope and Contents

This collection consists of a letter, an invoice, and a receipt relating the hire of Alexander, an enslaved person owned by Mrs. Sarah Williams, by an M. Stanly. In his letter, Stanly offers to pay Williams $13 per month plus board, and asks Williams to pay for Alexander's clothing and bear any loss owing to sickness. If either Williams or Alexander became unsatisfied with the latter's situation, the arrangement could be terminated on two weeks' notice. Stanly asked Williams, should she consent to this proposal, to send Alexander to him at Maysville, where he served as agent for E. V. Johnson & Company. The other two documents are Stanly's invoice detailing the amount owed to Williams for 1848, and Williams's receipt for Stanly's hire of Alexander, December 10, 1849.
