Summary
Sending him the "Jamaica Slave Register Bill"; saying that yesterday he received one from Barbados and another from St. Vincent; adding that he is not sending them "as they are much the same as the inclos'd, and they are none of them very pleasant reading"; asking Greville to return the bill, since he has no other copy of it.
