Scope and content
Incorporates a duplicate of their letter of 3 August 1805.
Offers updates on Perrin’s estates, including shipping details. Mentions 'three Negro women who have (from the partiality of
some of the white people formerly resident there or otherwise) acquired property sufficient we understand to purchase a new Negro each for their freedom', and suggests that the money would be more useful than the continued service of the ‘weakly people’ in question. Manuscript.
