Lastly, I wrote to my partner, acknowledging his industry in the improving the plantation, and his integrity in increasing the stock of the works; giving him instructions for his future government of my part, according to the powers I had left with my old patron, to whom I desired him to send whatever became due to me, till he should hear from me more particularly; assuring him that it was my intention not only to come to him, but to settle myself there for the remainder of my life.
Por último, le escribí a mi socio, agradeciéndole su diligencia en el mejoramiento de mi plantación y su integridad en el aumento de la producción. Le di instrucciones para el futuro gobierno de mi parte según los poderes que le había dejado a mi antiguo patrón, a quien deseaba que se le enviase todo lo que se me adeudaba, hasta nuevo aviso y le aseguré que, no solo iría a verlo, sino a establecerme allí por el resto de mi vida.
