1778 (Apr 7/15) Entire letters from Kingston to London endorsed by the "Grenville" Packet, backstamped "JAMAICA" (PS.6) and "6/JY" Bishop Mark, charged 1/-, one reposted to West Farley near Maidstone charged 3d. The "Grenville" Packet had been attacked on March 4th near Barbados, on its outward journey to Jamaica by the American Privateer "Resistance"; the "Grenville" repelled the attacker and made it into Barbados, although Capt. Kempthorne and eight crew were wounded. Two good letters to William Perrin, one discussing estate matters with details of negros bought, the first an unusually good strike of the Jamaica handstamp. (2).
