11th February 1863
Today, my wife Elisabeth and I set out on a quest to find some skilled laborers.
Our journey led us to a remarkable location, where we had the opportunity to assess potential candidates.
These individuals appeared well-groomed and were presented without clothing, allowing us to gauge their physical strength.
Interestingly, some of them were accompanied by their children, who were also available for consideration.
After a thorough evaluation, we selected two robust men and a woman reputedly skilled in the culinary arts, and we made the necessary purchases.
The total cost of these acquisitions amounted to $1,300. However, our initial excitement was tempered by disappointment, as the woman we acquired has not ceased weeping since her arrival.
I decided to name the woman Betty, while the two men were christened Isaac and Blacky, the latter due to his distinctive appearance.
Betty will be assigned to our kitchen, while Isaac and Blacky will join our workforce in the fields alongside our other laborers.

Today i hired the neighbour boy Thomas to show Isaac and Blacky what to do, and my dear wife Elisabeth tought Betty what she should do.
But later Thomas came up to me angry and told me that the niggers didn't respect him and doesn't do what he says.
