Note (return) — TIMBUCTOO TO HOUSA.

Persons of great landed property, of which there are many, employ agents or stewards; they let the lands, and the rents are paid sometimes in kind, and sometimes in gold-dust and cowries. Houses are let by the month. He paid four Mexico dollars per month; but a native would not have paid above two for the same house. A man who has five Mexico dollars 82 a month, is esteemed in easy circumstances; those, however, who have 30 or 40 per month, are common.
