The slaves were put in the jail at night, and worked on the farm during the day.
They were kept here until the gang was completed, when we again started for New Orleans, on board the steamboat North America, Capt.

Alexander Scott.

We had a large number of slaves in this gang.

One, by the name of Joe, Mr.Walker was training up to take my place, as my time was nearly out, and glad was I.We made our first stop at Vicksburg, where we remained one week and sold several slaves.
Mr.Walker, though not a good master, had not flogged a slave since I had been with him, though he had threatened me.

The slaves were kept in the pen, and he always put up at the best hotel, and kept his wines in his room, for the accommodation of those who called to negotiate with him for the purchase of slaves.
