From John Nelson to Henry Lloyd (January 31, 1709) Mr Henry Loyd Sir: Your negro Obium has been retarded partly by reason of the weather & partly for that I was willing that he should be returned to you reasonably cloathed &c he seems to be something unwilling to part with us, but as it is in a manner the same familie I tell him that upon his future good behaviour he may be assured of as good treatment. he promisses his best Endeavors for your Servise &c. I have thought good to give you an account of what Obium brings with him for feare of Other disposalls A Great Coate, Double brested Jackett, & a Coate, new and all lined: 2 pr Cloth Britches; 5 Shirtes, of which by reason of not haveing them with him may want mending, 2 pr Stockings, he should have had new shoes, but can not immediately procure them soe defer that upon his comeing to you, lett him be furnished on my account, for which I will repay you. You know how to deal with him. by praiseing or speaking well of him you may doe with him as you please Yett not trust him too much. pray Give my respects & service [to your un]cle & Ant Brinkley &c [Addressed:] To Mr. Henry Lloyd 1725. From Edward Antill to Henry Lloyd (October 5, 1725) The Letter wherein You thought it not proper that Aurelia should be Hyred under Nine Pounds per Annum, is the reason that she is not yet Disposed of & I believe will not till she be let at a lower rate. I had once hyred her out for Eight pounds upon liking, but upon receipt of Your letter took her home again. 1725. From Henry Lloyd to Mrs. Smith I just now received a letter from Mr. Antill by which I find Aurelia is with you in order to be forwarded to me, but that she is obstinate in refuseing to come. I am to well used to Negroes resolutions to have any regard to them. What I aim at is the complyance with my Sister Lloyds desire & interest. I have no business for her & had much rather she were hyred out in the City & shall be much oblidged to you if you’l please to contribute towards hyreing her into some good family on as good terms as you can which will be most for my Sisters intrest & by far more agreeable to me than to have her with me. On the Bearers returne I expect to hear further in the mean time If she remains as she is it may be as Well. I have given you the trouble of this Supposing Mr Antill in the Country to whom with his Lady please to give my humble Service & accept the same from Madam Your H[umble] S[ervant] H Lloyd 1725/26. From Paschal Nelson to Henry Lloyd Dear Brother: This is wrote in behalf of your Sister Lloyd who has received yours, which was inclosed to me, by the Beaver. She now Sends you a Letter of Attorney that you may solely manage her Affairs in New York and not let them be under the direction of so many persons. And as she takes notice of what you write concerning her Negroes, that the People to whom they are hired out bring the Charges for their Clothing upon a par with their Wages, so she also fears the familiar Management and Carriage wherwith such servants are treated amongst the Dutch will spoil them, She desireth You would take them all home to your house where she hopes their Work will compensate for their Maintenance and if it over doth she had rather you, than any other should have some Advantage by them, seeing none will accrue to her by their hire; And she desires you to keep them there with you till you hear farther from her or see her again, for she intends if she can in any manner get her Brother Col: Ely’s consent, to return to those parts again. But the Negro Man Jack who is a Butcher is to remain in York as he is now, that is to pay his Mistress 12L per annum and find himself in all things. February, 1725/6 1729.

Smith the fourty pounds for Phillis in part of which is 20 ounces silver at 8/9 per oz. which I suppose will not be received at that rate for payment of any Sum Due on bond, and shall not doubt on its being refused you will change it. I have not paid Beekman anything he absolutely refusing to any, till he can have all together. The principal occasion of thisis to inform you that since my being in New York I received a Letter from my Sister Lloyd (now Minzies) in answer to one I wrote her acquainting her with Beekmans resolutions and the Methods I should be oblidged to take wherein she expresses a high resentment at the mention of selling the Negros and says will have them again if it cost her ten times the value, but withall says her Brother and Sister Orgil will be in York in May or June. as I am willing to do every thing consisting with my safety I have Deferred proceeding any further on sale of the Negros since she tells me by them the money shall without fail be paid. I immediately acquainted Beekman with this and desired he would wait June out which He consents to, my letter having reached the day Aurelia was to be Exposed to sale at Vandue. I have been the more perticular in this affair because I would intreat the favour that on Mr Orgil’s arrival as you happen to meet with him you’l please aquaint him therewith and that as soon as my affairs will permit after notice of his arrival I will see him in York. I am with due respect Sir. 1730.
