Gowrie 20th December 1858

Louis Manigault

a married Man aged 31 Yrs. with a Wife and two Children. He is
very highly recommended by Dr. King & highly spoken of as a good planter
and man of Character. I give him $800 for the year 1858. The plantation being overun with Volunteer. I have used for the first time the
Sub foil plough & think to advantage. I have also planted the entire
Tract in new feed, viz 194 Acres in Ogeechee Island Swamp Rice & the
remainder of the plantation in Gov'r Allston's Celebrated Georgetown feed
purchased in Charleston @ $1.20. I now leave the plantation with
Mrs Manigault for Europe until December next. I can judge of the
stand of 400 Acres, viz 1st & 2d planting which thus far looks well.
(The Sub foil ploughs proved a failure, our lands drain well enough without
