Alexand [Alexandria].
Nov [November]. 15th 1831Dear Burford

I this day make a shipt [shipment]. of 13 likely negrs [negroes], 8 men & 5 girls no. 1. If they should reach the market before the passage of the interdictive, they will doubtless pay a handsome profit:__ Our subsequent course will depend upon the advise we receive from Mr [Mister]. Franklin__

Let me hear from you & give me the news at large
