Expected arrival of my brother soon. Thanks for friendly notice of my son. Glad to hear that the turtles arrived safely. The mango plants will never arrive in a healthy condition without a person who understands how to care for them. A storm caused some of the fleet to return to Portsmouth or Ireland causing a delay in supplies; the Hogheads packs are much needed. The quality of the sugars from the Spring Estate was good. The estimate of the value of the Negroes is from £12 to £13,000.Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest itemCopyright StatusPublic domainConditions of Use and ReproductionThis item is out of copyright.
