The document contains advertisements from the 1780s selling enslaved people in Charleston, South Carolina. The ads note that around 250 people were for sale and that care was taken to prevent smallpox infections, as Charleston recently experienced a smallpox epidemic that killed over 700 people. It was not until 1796 that Edward Jenner demonstrated cowpox vaccination as a way to protect against smallpox.

In a population of about 8000, there were an estimated 6000 cases and over 730 deaths, or 9% of the population.
