A REMINDER OF THE DAYS BEFORE THE WAR
In the office of the Recorder of Deeds, this morning, the following paper -- a relic of the olden time -- was found:
District of Columbia, Washington county, to wit: I have removed from Prince William county to the city of Washington one negro man, named Vincent, which negro man I have brought for my use, and not for sale. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal, this eleventh day of February, A.D. 1819. [Signed] George Mackey, [Seal].
