Transcription
Reid is glad to have reached Jamaica safely. Sloane is greatly missed there and many hope he will soon return to cure their distempers. Reid notes that Jamaica’s ‘petit corps politique’ is struggling. Many on the island were affected by disturbances to their humours. He offers his services to Captain Buntinhead in Lenwood.
