TitleWilliam Sutherland to Jaques and Fisher (copy): poor weather may be blamed for the deterioration in the quality of the sugars; has taken some land back into cultivation; Blue Mountain compares very favourably with its neighbours, Hallhead and Petersfield; suggests that the molasses bottoms should not be dug out of the hogsheads; is grateful for the increase in his salary up to £200; so far the mules have not been stricken with the disorder which has killed several mules at Hallshead; suggests concentrating production of sugars on the rich soils. 10 June
