Latson also offered his farm in West Feliciana on Little Bayou Sara— 170 cleared arpents. He said he would "pre-fer to sell the negroes with each place" and that the Negroes were "selected most of them at very high prices, among them a carpenter, a blacksmith, a weaver, shoemakers, brick makers, shingle mak-ers, a coal broar (?), etc."
