| Title | Copy letter from William Sutherland to John Jaques (enclosed with D239/M/E/17180): answers Perrin's queries; firstly, Grange Hill is much better suited to be a penn than a sugar estate; secondly, there is plenty of land to maintain cattle for Blue Mountain and Vere; thirdly, a new settlement at Grange Hill should be capable of 300 hogsheads of sugar as an annual average; comments on a proposed trial of Othaheite canes from Barbados or Martinique; suggests procuring 200-300 plants; will comply with Perrin's desire to have his sugars shipped before 25 July; the negroes at Blue Mountain and Grange Hill have behaved very well under martial law. |
