TitleJaques and Fisher to William Philp Perrin: although £900 had to be spent last year at Blue Mountain, especially on caring for the "negroes", the expenditure will save several thousand pounds more now, as neighbouring planters are finding to their cost; the crop this year will exceed Hallhead plantation by 100 hogsheads, with rum in proportion; the jobbing expenses at Grange Hill arise from the condition of the "negroes", many of whom are old, infirm, or ill, Vere promises well - 120 hogsheads.
