Description
A letter from Mildred Ann Bullitt (Oxmoor) to her son, Thomas Walker Bullitt (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), dated November 6th, 1860. Mildred writes that Oldham Bright has been fired as overseer at Oxmoor because he proposed to Wallace, a man enslaved by the Bullitt family, that Oldham could buy Wallace and let him work on a steamboat for his own wages. She writes that, after this proposition, Wallace started to "behave in such a manner that your father sold him to Garrison."
