Abstract

Petrigru writes to Mitchell in hopes that Mitchell will remember the outcome of "a suit of Thomas Morissey against Dorilla Motte a free woman." Petrigru also inquires about the involvement of a John Walker. He hopes to settle the debt, if it has not been already, in order to secure justice for "Jacob Motte a slave."
