The party of slaves relocated from North Carolina to Alabama arrived the prior day on December 6th with their escort Mr. Laws. Paul relays difficulty converting checks to cash for supplies.

Title A name given to the resource Paul Cameron Letter, November 27, 1844 Subject The topic of the resource Antebellum Plantation Life Description An account of the resource Paul writes from Mr. Ruffin's place in Marengo County, Alabama, to his father in Raleigh, that he has negotiated purchase of an 1100-acre plantation in Greene County, three miles from a landing, from a Col. Armistead, paying $17.50 per acre. The counsel of noted friends, Mr. Cain and Mr. Ruffin, encouraged Paul with the terms. Mobile notes and Charleston checks are discussed as forms of currency for payment of terms. The cotton harvests of 1840-44 are described, as are the existing buildings and general state of the plantation. The previous owner Armistead notes he has only lost "two grown negroes" from "disease of the climate in 10 years." Paul notes that Mr. Laws mentioned in a prior September 4, 1844, letter as the person overseeing the transfer of slaves from North Carolina to Alabama, has yet to arrive, but the slaves will be placed in cabins when they do and given provisions by Mr. Armistead in exchange for help in getting his harvest out.
