This document is a receipt for the sale of four slaves. The seller was the
President of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad Company, William
Wadley. The sale took place in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. The purchasers were
James Henderson of Davis County and Walker P. Perkins of Milam County, Texas.
The slaves were identified as "Little Sam" 27 years old, "Lovie" (sp?) 31 years
old, "Edmund White" 26 years old and "unreadable" 47 years old. The sale price
was $7,500 dollars. The sale was dated June 22, 1863.

Walker Perkins must have strongly believed in the Confederate cause to still be
buying slaves in 1863. 

This scan is of a copy, I don't know who has the original.
