Title	Malcom Laing to Frances Perrin: Blue Mountain's present force of 60 "negroes" ought really to be increased to 150 to get the best out of the plantation; is paying Perrin's small creditors as fast as possible; Perrin's law suits cost him dear - the Provost Marshall's office alone complains of being £1000 a year down by his death! Comments on the suit with Chriton; Elizabeth Fickle's legacy "was too large for one of her colour in this country - I make no doubt that she served him faithfully...", Suggests William Philp Perrin's education should include Jamaican law "to prevent designing people taking the advantage of him".
