Title	Letter from Malcom Laing to William Philp Perrin.
Date	Feb 1765
Description	The death of Theophilact Blechynden effectively ends the dispute of the Poyntzs against the estates of Philp and Perrin; notes Perrin's intention to sell the Forest Plantation, and approves of it as Forest lies detached from the other estates; Blue Mountain and Grange Hill are making good sugars, has heard that English prices will be high; Elizabeth Fickle wants to exchange three 'negroes' [Black peoples] for a 'negro' women [Black people] called Belinda and her two children; Perrin's father had promised Peter, his favourite waiting boy, his freedom - could this now be accomplished?
