(Hering Of Slaves) Interesting manuscript document, 3pp. folio, [n.p ], an accounting listing by name about ten plantation slaves hired out for labor on other plantations by the estate of the slave owner. Also mentioned is the period of the hiring, typically one year, with rent' paid of about E1 00 per slave. Excess labor was often hired-out by wealthier slave owners to those farmers needing extra hands. Fine.
