(SLAVERY and ABOLITION.) Manuscript Attestation of Qualities and Deed of Sale, for a "mulatto girl named Martha about 18 years of age." One page, 4to; iron gall ink oxidizing on the heavier pen strokes. Mobile, 13 February 1833
The document is more an attestation of qualities than a deed of sale, though the docketing identifies the document as a deed. It is signed by 2 people, neither of whom is the owner or the purchaser of Martha. It is likely that this document was entered in evidence when the purchaser brought suit against the former owner.
