A Kingston Jamaica letter dated January 29 discusses rebel blacks from St Domingo, their transport to English harbors, and proposals to move them to Sierra Leone as labor for sugar. It cites objections by Baymen and rulers, then voices mixed opinions on abolition’s impact, urging humane plans for Negro welfare and religious instruction while criticizing anti sugar sentiment. It notes denied Danish abolition claims and references abolitionist petitions to the Crown and church authorities.
