saying he begs to hand enclosed the appraisement of the Phoenix Park works & buildings which has been effected by competent persons, but looking at the age and the material of which the old works are composed, with the necessity of annual repairs, I think the valuation high. I have sent also a list of the Negroes, the Horned Cattle and Mules, and a statement of the cultivation. The Negro Grounds are not included, being scattered in various parts of the Estate - and the Pasturage consists only of the poor natural Savannahs which intersect and divide the old cultivation from the new and which were at one time claimed on behalf of the Crown, as you may recollect, under the administration of Sir Ralph Woodford. Of this claim. however I have since heard nothing. Two estates have lately been sold in the Colony, the particulars of which, I annex below for your Government..., after his signature there is his report, also signed Mount Pleasant Estate - in the Quarter of Quessa with 110 slaves, abundantly supplied with stock &c, sold by Mr Robert Neilson on account of Messrs Protheroe of Bristol for £18000 Stg payable in 6 years - £3000 pa without Interest.
