TitleFrancis Graham to William Philp Perrin: Mr. Sutherland resigned the management of Perrin's estates on 1 Mar. Grange Hill has not been adequately prepared for crop in 1805; it is very much worn and without dung, and the returns will not measure up to the complement of 240 negroes. Blue Mountain can be raised to 450 hogsheads if more grass is planted and some breeding cows purchased. 9 Mar
