Manuscript Document Signed as a legal copy William Holt, 1pp. folio, July Court, 1847, Halifax County, North Carolina, and pertaining to a case of Elizabeth Bailey & others against Jeffrey Fraynham &c. and reads in part: "...This cause came on to be further heard on the papers formerly read and the Report of Thomas bailey...whereof the court doth adjudge order and decree that the said Thomas Bailey do pay to Jeffrey Fraynham the sum of $20.55 paid by him to Richard Logand and John W. Price that do pay the account of $12 to F.J. Haywood for Medical Services to the slaves ...that he pay to Jeffrey P. Fraynham for $36.84 his commission for selling the slaves..." Fine condition. Jeffrey Fraynham most likely was a negro trader who was called upon to sell the slaves for the Bailey, family and had to have routine medical work done before their sale.
