Work them, flog them, if need be, but don't starve them.

These are, however, some painful exceptions to this rule.

While it is quite true that most of the slaveholders in Baltimore feed and clothe their slaves well, there are others who keep up their country cruelties in the city.

Mrs.
Hamilton owned two slaves.

Their names were Henrietta and Mary.
