No. 88. Her little boy, Armstead, 3 years. All together were sold for
$1950. But the stranger who had the last bid is not able to give the
requisite security, nor is he in possession of cash; and the poor
family is placed again upon the platform, to be resold. The torture
begins anew; they have again to feel the mortification of being placed
in the same category with cattle. Armstead, the poor little boy, will
give you the best proof that even little children can feel the atrocity
of being thus sold. He begins to cry most pitifully, and hides his face
under the white apron of his weeping mother.
