[?]vey only the existing interest in the slaves, which the granter
had at the time of making the conveyance, any future
title which might [desvlve?] upon him would not
ensue to Camphill's benefit, but if, [acending?] to a [put?]
interpretation, the convenance undertaken to transfer
the slaves themselves, & not merely his then claim & interest,
Equity would oblige him to give effect to
his grant out of any interest which might afterwards

At first view, I was inclined to regard the
conveyance as applying only to the existing claim
of the grantor, in consequence of the [???] "right, title and
interest which he has" & but upon further reflection
I think that, taking the whole instrument
together, it is a grant of the slaves themselves. Their
the granting part, after conveying all right & in the slaves
[?] bequeathed by the will, & all rights in them which he has acquired, ( a phraseology which countenances my first impression), proceed to declare that all fo the sd claves
the P Johnes [???] hereby convey to the sd Camphill,
[??] only to the life estate of [??] C lines. And the warrant
is not of the right, interest & [??] [?] of the [?]
(which might have been [????] to refer to the existing
title first, perhaps, alluded to) , but of title to the slaves
&.

I cannot profess to be perfectly satisfied
that this last is the construction of the conveyance which
the Courts would adopt, but it seems to me the most probable
construciton, even independently of the
