An African.
CAME on this day to my plantation on South Santee, a Mandingo
NEGRO MAN, about six feet high, apparently thirtyfive
years old, and has a scar over his right eye: He speaks
the Guinea language to one of my Negroes—says that he does
know his master’s name, nor the way back to his plantation,
which he left a week ago, and is directed by a driver named
Prince, who abused him and imposed on him: He mentions
that his African name is Muldy—his present name Galter; that
his master lives mostly in town, and has a waiting man called
Dick. He has a blanket, a blue round jacket with plated buttons,
a blue cap, white negro cloth trowsers and robbin, and a
pair of shoes. His owner may regain him by applying to me.
