Susan, an enslaved 16-year-old, was probably unaware that the letter she carried to the Eastville, Virginia post office contained arrangements for her to be sold to a dealer in Richmond.
Signed by Elijah Brittingham, the letter describes Susan as a "first rate girl big limbs and muscles." He also asks about a unnamed woman, who has two children and is pregnant with a third, and whether he should wait until she has given birth to send her as well. The letter is dated April 17, 1850 and is now in our @nationalpostalmuseum.
Before the introduction of home mail delivery, enslaved people often carried letters to and from the post office. This mail was usually identified by a notation—called an endorsement—that also served as a travel pass, but only between the letter's sender and its destination. #Jamestown400 #ANationsStory
