After two years, he discovered he had overestimated the potential profits and decided to bring his slaves back to Virginia.  His creditors, however, initiated a suit, and he was delayed for a number of years.  He has now settled with his creditors, and seeks permission to bring the \"remnant\" of his slaves, for whom he has great attachment, back to Virginia.
