No improvement of Negroes is necessary, the quantity thereon and prime quality thereof being fully sufficient to keep in good order what is now in Cultivation. - The wish of the Seller to retire to Europe is the only motive of his being determined to dispose of that Fine and Valuable Plantation on such favorable Terms. - For Particulars apply by Letter addressed to A.
