Abstract:
Upset by the handling of their affairs in chancery, and the Lord Chancellor's decrees that were prejudicial to his wife's interests. Has been offered a new plantation on the Cooper River within ten miles of Charleston. Describes the plantation in detail. He would purchase it if he believed his wife had enough money. "...you must know that tho a small Plantation may & will maintain a Family very handsomly; so that they shall want for nothing (provided they have Slaves proportionable to manage it w'ch must always be understood) yet it will not raise an Estate in a great many Years, nor then neither, w'thout great Frugality." Notes the profitability of cattle.
