Forged Dart Letter and Texas Slavery Case Revealed
From the North Carolina Bulletin February 3, an enclosed Hamilton letter to Monroe Edwards outlines a Texas slavery scheme. Before 1836, Edwards and Dart bought about two hundred enslaved people in Havana and landed them in Texas under Edwards. A $35,000 mortgage secured by the slaves prompted a dispute over Dart’s share. Edwards forgedly released his interest, and a forged Dart letter aided the scheme. Forgery carried death penalties in Texas. Edwards faced jail, then bail on an unwarranted charge, fled to Cincinnati, and freed two hundred slaves he never owned, amid burdensome debt.
