To Thomas Jefferson from William Call, 4 March 1781
From William Call
Prince George, 4 Mch. 1781. In spite of numerous applications for negroes to work at Hood’s, has secured the promise of only two; fears he cannot secure them unless he engages tradesmen and pays accordingly. “Those who do not spare their Labourers from principle will not for hire.”
