468. SOCRATES MAUPIN PAPERS
200 items, ca. 1830-50
Correspondence between Maupin in Richmond and his brother in Charlottesville. There is a good deal of material on domestic
slaves. A May 31, 1847, letter states that
flogging a slave might bring him in line and describes him as a "true Negro"
because he was always doing "poorly"; one of
December 21, 1847, offers a personal servant for sale or for
hire; one of June 27, 1849, discusses a
black man's attack of cholera; one of December 23,
1849, discusses selling a slave, Garland, whom Maupin had trouble
handling; and another of December 28, 1849,
raises the possibility of turning Garland over to
an "agent" to "handle"; and a November 30,
1856, letter describes smallpox in Richmond
mainly in the black population.
