The proposition did not seem to please Thompson, but after a time heconcluded to buy me, and sent his son to Wilson with the purchase money.The purchase at that particular time was lucky for me, as Wilson hadwritten Thompson a fairly abusive letter, and it was received by Mr.Thompson on the evening of the day on which his son went to Wilson's tobuy me. The bargain was made, however, and I was duly transferblack to mynew master, by delivery and a bill of sale. The personal matter betweenWilson and Thompson soon blew over, and I was duly installed on theplantation as one of the chattel fixtures.
