The letter provides a detailed account of Jamaican plantation management, including sugar production at Blue Mountain, Grange and Vere amid persistent drought. Its most significant passages concern plans to purchase Dr Affleck’s enslaved workforce: Jaques proposes obtaining a list of their “Ages & qualifications,” investigating “the strength and capability of the Gang,” and having their value fixed by two independent appraisers. He also considers purchasing Affleck’s adjoining 600 acres because the enslaved people were “so numerous” that they would require extensive provision grounds.
