I there fcre did much to- ameliorate tLeir condi- Oen, thciugh for a few years I did not make up my, mind to free them.; "Among my slaves was , a really beau tiful mulatto.

"In due time the - excitement died away; but, continually annoyed with suspicions of being ail abolitionist, and thoroughly ' loathing a 'system of which.

I was not long in finding a purchaser for the :plantation; it .was a fertile.: and well-ordered one.
