[61]
The rest of the
estate—an amount twice as large—they might have invested
profitably, and, if greedy for money, have taken a reasonable amount for
themselves, and have increased my estate from the income, besides keeping the
principal intact. Yet they did nothing of the sort. Instead, by selling to one
another the most valuable of the slaves and by absolutely doing away with the
rest, they destroyed the existing source of my income and secured a considerable
one for themselves at my cost.
