NO SO FAST BW, trying to pawn it off on Grant's wife...
Thank you for this info.
I had not known that Grant had previously freed his own slave despite a strong economic incentive to sell the man. I suspect that, as seemingly often happened among slave-holding families, Grant had developed a strong personal regard for the man, almost equivalent to family.
As for the rest about Julia's slaves.... Egad man! Have you never been married?....
