| Full Narrative | THOMAS was of pure blood, with a very cheerful, healthy-looking countenance,? twenty-one years of age, and was to " come free " at twenty-five, but he had too much good sense to rely upon the promises of slave-holders in matters of this kind. He too belonged to Cain who, he said, was constantly talking about selling, etc. He left his father and mother. After being furnished with food, clothing, and free tickets, they were forwarded on in triumph and full of hope. |
