His epistle at large... is a selfish an insolent and an insidious one. Let me beg you will listen to none from him. ... If the Slave Trade is abolished he will not run the Risk of of Renting your Estate -- If not, I am convinced, he will accede to your terms... Slaves must rise to double their present value; and by procrastinating the Reappraisement... he would reap an advantage... Waltr.
