Charles Lushington to Mrs Upcher, about the reports he was receiving regarding the behaviour of the Black workers on his seven plantations in Clarendon, Kingston, Jamaica, and his occasional fears that they might at some time have been treated as badly as some of the indigenous people they heard about, which were alleviated by the reports, 8 May 1839
He also comments on the rumour that Lord John Russell was the principal instrument in breaking up the Ministry and that Sir Robert Peel had visited the Queen and presumably accepted office. (Copy.)
