After which I caused a procuration to be drawn, empowering him to be the receiver of the annual profits of my plantation: and appointing my partner to account with him, and make the returns, by the usual fleets, to him in my name; and by a clause in the end, made a grant of one hundred moidores a year to him during his life, out of the effects, and fifty moidores a year to his son after him, for his life: and thus I requited my old man.
Ensuite je lui demandai de me rédiger une procuration, l'investissant receveur des revenus annuels de ma plantation, et prescrivant à mon partner de compter avec lui, et de lui faire en mon nom ses remises par les flottes ordinaires. Une clause finale lui assurait un don annuel de 100 MOIDORES sa vie durant, et à son fils, après sa mort, une rente viagère de 50 MOIDORES.
