646. WRIGHT FAMILY PAPERS

16 items, 1839-89
A small collection of personal papers of Dr. William Wright of Amherst County. A letter of December 1845 from Macon County, N.C., to William Wright informs him that the writer was quite happy with a slave [Jourdin?] received from him and that Jourdin sent his regards to all, "both white and black." Also a letter of November 10, 1847, from Sheldon Wright to Dr. William Wright notes that Sheldon had sold his slave Nancy and her children for $740; he could have received a higher price if he had separated them, but he chose not to.
