Title
Malcom Laing to William Philp Perrin: all goes well at Vere; the land purchased there from the heirs of James Fraunces will produce more sugar and rum this year than it cost; while the good seasons last, Perrin must not think of selling the plantation; at Blue Mountain, they expect the largest crop ever; encloses Elizabeth Fickle's receipt for the 10 negroes left her in William Perrin's will; "before I signed the deed [of sale] for Belinda, Adam, and Lucy, Belinda the mother was brought to bed of a boy but as your power of attorney to me was dated before the birth of that child I could not charge anything for it" Advises against selling Forest at the present. Reports on the suit v. Harris.
