C[harles] A[nderson] Wickliffe ALS to Lewis Null, November 28, 1820

Frankfort, Nov 28th 1820

Dear Sir

Yours of the 5th October has just reached
me. I have been here as a member of our Legislature
since the 16th October, and have it not in my
Power to answer specifically your several letters
referred to. I can say that answers were sent or
put in the mail to the whole and particularly
your last. I wrote you particularly the situa
tion of the negro woman. I will state again -
that after the sale at 400 Dollars the negro was [dis]
covered to have been diseased, and the contract
was of course rescinded, the negro was sent down
the River to be sold as she would not sell where
she was known, the gentlemen who took her down
left in my hands 200. Dollars and what ever
sum she sold for after the Expenses were paid was to be
accounted for, he has (I have learned just re
turned,) and when I see him will settle the
same and forward it on to you.
Together with any sums I may have of your
house Your claims against Bowens have
been to day; continued in court upon the applica
tions of Bowen he alledges they have been
paid &c. any information you may have
upon this subject please to communicate it

Respectfully

C. A. Wickliffe
