Synopsis
Cooke asks Lopez's assistance to find his slave Sharper. He was informed that Sharper was working on board Captain Hyers’ vessel. He asks Lopez, if he finds Sharper, to send him to Whitehall or to Cooke’s house in George Town. Cooke tells that Sharper worked with him for 14 or 15 years and that if someone in Providence wants to buy him, he would sell him for 150 dolares or even less.
