William Sutherland to Jaques and Fisher: 280 hogsheads had been made by 13 May, when there were 125 acres of canes still to cut which promised to yield a further 143 hogsheads; but the weather has blasted all hopes of such a yield, and has seriously threatened prospects for 1785; given favourable conditions, however, the estate is capable of raising 450-500 hogsheads. 20 September For copy, see microfilm M785 1784
