DescriptionNathan Durfee, assuming that a total of 3,500 dollars is required to free Peter Still’s enslaved family, offers to pay 600 dollars to him, once that is the remaining sum which Still requires, provided the family members all then come to live with Durfee and work as servants in his household until the 600 dollars should be paid off. The letter bears the (partly illegible) signature of a witness to Durfee’s offer.
