Title
William Sutherland to William Philp Perrin (with duplicate): it has proved impossible to ship the crop before July in order to avoid double insurance; little has been done to counter the activities of privateers. Admiral Sir Hyde Parker has done little to protect Jamaica; preferring to spend "his time in the arms of a French strumpet, a Madam d'Antoine ..."; however, the admiral has now gone home to the great joy of everybody". 14 August
