Letter, James W. Miller in Jackson, Miss., to David Burford in Dixon Springs, Tenn., 1849 January 17

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 4, item: 8
Identifier: IV

ALS. 1p. Claims that two "unsound" people (Daniel and Mary) were sold to him by Burford with the latter's knowledge. Miller asserts that Burford represented them as "sound" and therefore owes him a reduction in the amount to be paid. Notes on the verso in the hand of Burford indicate the actions he planned to take.
