Abstract:
Writing to his slave trading partner, noting that he is having difficulty obtaining checks and the slave market is dull. Lists full names of five enslaved people he has sold and prices realized. Expects when cotton begins to sell that the influx of money in the market will increase sales of enslaved people. Will return to Virginia soon to get money to Logan, but other Alabama traders advise him to stay. Has not heard from their slave trading partner, Joseph Meeks. N.B. Haynes and Logan from Virginia formed a slave trading partnership. They worked with speculator Joseph Meeks of Nashville, Tennessee, to sell enslaved people from the east to higher demand areas in the west and south.
