"a negro woman"
Letter to Ebenezer Foote from Catherine Livingston, Oak Hill, Linlithgo, New York, 15 April, 1800
Sir... I am sorry we had not the pleasure of seeing you when last at Catskill. Mr Bill has promised to forward these lines to you on the subject of accommodating you with a negro woman which he informs me you are in want of. The one I have to dispose of is twenty one years of age and the reason of parting with her, is her having a young child, and the father of it, not being married to her, and not acting agreeable to me, my wish is to remove her from him. She is perfectly honest and sober, and until now, was very useful to me, but now that there is three in my kitchen under a twelvemonth (three babies? K. F.) I am under the necessity of parting with her. If you are in want of a woman she will answer, being acquainted with all kinds of Country, and house work, and perfectly well disposed. Should be glad of an answer. I gave seventy pounds for her, but to have a good place for her shall not differ about the price.
With esteem and respect, Yours Catherine Livingston.
