Title	Jaques and Fisher to Sir William FitzHerbert: at Grange Hill, Munro has made a singular improvement in the health of the negroes; there are in all 203 on the estate, 20 of whom are too old and infirm for work. Munro will eventually have the estate new-planted; however, Grange Hill has been beset with boundary disputes, and surveyors have laid down the lines; the new settlement planned for Grange Hill promises well; it would be a pity not to proceed with a penn - much of the land has been cleared. The mason and carpenter from Glasgow have arrived at Grange Hill and appear sober and industrious, the crop from Vere promises to be one of the best ever.
