"Did Aldrich sell Peterson to Henri Lemaire for two thousand dollars?"
"He did."
"Is he alive?"
"He is."
"Where?"
"On Lemaire's plantation."
"Where is that?"
"On the north-eastern side, at Vauclin. He has plantations at the northern part of the island; but this is his home place, where he lives, and where he keeps the most slaves, and stores the greatest part of his coffee till he sells it."
"What does he put Peterson to doing?"
