Title	Malcom Laing to William Philp Perrin: the drought at Vere has now lasted 12 months, the canes all burnt up, wells dry, cattle starving - "in short the parish is in a miserable condition and has not been known in the memory of man so long without rain". Blue Mountain should yield 300 hogshead of good sugar, notwithstanding the dry weather; Grange Hill should produce more than last year; the Forest estate sold to Mr. Fyffe is ruined with the drought; is in dispute with a plantation bordering on Blue Mountain over some of Perrin's land.
