Several days later when he was showing his stock to one of the planters, he found the girl raving in delirium. Believing that she would die within a day or two, he hunted up Mr. Campbell and offered to sell her for twelve guineas. Mr. Campbell looked at the girl. She was quiet at the moment and conscious, though her face was flushed, her hands twitched and her breathing was labored.

The next day those bound for the Virginia Valley chartered a river boat to carry them to Ricketts, just below Richmond, and shifting their belongings to it, sailed up the James River, making their first landing at Williamsburg. At Williamsburg, while their wives were shopping, the men called upon Peyton Randolph and presented the letter which Mr. Campbell’s father had given him. At the time he had more influence than any other man in the colony. He read the letter and turning to Mr. Campbell said:
