Controversy Over Havana Factor and Directors’ Conduct
A Dublin era letter questions the conduct of the Court of Directors over Mr. Holloway and Mr. Wooley in Havana and Portobello affairs. It argues the Answerer misrepresents minutes, exposes debts, and defends Deputy-Governor and Sub-Governor roles while urging shareholders to judge who served the company best amidst ongoing Panama and Havanna disputes. The piece critiques the pamphlet and notes broader European news from Dantzik to The Hague.
