Title	William Sutherland to William Philp Perrin (with duplicate): explains the difference in climate in Jamaica between the north side of the island and the south, and the effect this has on sugar production; it is impossible to synchronise sugar production north and south so as to ship sugars together. Doubts if Perrin can reasonably sell his land in America until there is a general peace. Comments on the use of the plough in the West Indies. Prospects for the crop are good - Vere alone promises 200 hogsheads; will plant East India Ebony at Blue Mountain as a quick-growing fuel wood. 8 Feb 1801
