Matthew Mayhew of Martha's Vineyard sold the indenture contract (seven years) for two native Americans, Keiape (alias Felix) and James Covell (#411), to Jacob Mayle for 25 pounds. Keiape and Covell were given the chance to pay Mayhew for their freedom. If not ["for want thereof"] they were to be sold "into any part of their Majesties Dominions." Mayle sold the indentures to Paine.
