(SLAVERY AND ABOLITION) NEW YORK CITY. Detailed account of the sale of a slave in New York, to be transported to Jamaica. Single leaf of laid paper, written on both sides; old folds. New York, 1788
A curious reversal of the usual slave purchased in Jamaica and brought to New York. In this case the slave is purchased in New York, then sent to the Bay of Honduras, then to Jamaica, where he was sold again. On the verso, the prosperous New York merchant and real estate developer Nicholas Low (1739-1826) is requested by John Healy to pay Peter Bogert "for his Negro Man" and the cost of a suit against Healy. Low was active in civil and state affairs, attending the state's 1788 convention that ratified the U. S. Constitution.
