Transcription
Ekhines reports that the Duke of Montague had to pay French authorities in St Lucia and St Vincent. The fort at St Lucia is said to be a good one. It is within sight of Barbados and will soon be ‘filled with French’ troops. Ekhines heard that the King has refused to allow sugar plantations on Tobago. There have been problems with French and Spanish ships in the Caribbean. He writes of the competitiveness of the sugar trade. Ekhines requests a fort and troops for Barbados.
