KiiMisro.1, Jamaica, Jan. 21, 1939. The Island of Jamaica, I am sorry to say, it in a very poor state, but a few propcrtie at work, and a the crop time ia now at hand, the proprietors are at a kt to know how to tale it off. The price demanded by the negroes is more than what tbe sugars and rum will tell for, to it it impossible tu iret them lo come to any final arrangement. The - J Governor issudd a proclamation a few days ago,, but that cau do no good ; he, himself, can do no good with them. A planter told me Ibis morning that, last year, at this time, be made 50 hhds. of sugar, and now"b?smiH is not yet at work on ac count of Jhe.ne grocsnut being willing to work -oni-'" der cl petoay, which it ' impossible to give. He further says that Jamaica ia going fast to -. . You cannot imagine ; Tor full particulars pay a great attention to the paper you will receive. I am told that it is pot Jamaica alone that wffera but thQ oilier windward Islands. The House of Assembly wilt meet on the 5th proximo, and I mutt say that, unless the Governor give way to lb member, nothing' will be done. " You will find in tbe paper particular of a meeting of the Com missioner of Correspondence, and also public meet, ing being called for the purpose of making a re port of the distressed slat of this once flourishing island. Alas I Jamaica is not what she once was, nor ever will be. The time past, and it ia too late to do any good. A long a the stipendiary ma. gistrate give bad advice to the negroes, they will not come to terms.' What with them and the Go vernor, enough mischief is effected. I am sorry I am obliged to give you such an account of my na tive plare.
