To James Madison from Francis H. Rozer, 26 October 1802

From Francis H. Rozer

Oct. 26th. 1802

Sir

I have requested Mr F. Hall to call on you for the hire of my Negro Man George. I was in hopes he suited you, and that you would have continued him in your service.1 As I am informed the hire of servants is not so high as it was; I intended informing you of my terms for the ensuing year, which I have fix’d at $100. If inclined to continue him, please inform me by Mr Hall. I have the honor to be Sir Your Most Obt. Servt.

Frs. H Rozer

RC (DLC).
