ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a letter written by the author after her stay in Jamaica. For a length of time, the author viewed the Slave Trade with abhorrence considering it a blemish on every civilized nation that countenanced or supported it. All the slaves the author had an opportunity of seeing in Jamaica, seemed vastly well satisfied, their conditions appeared to be far preferable to what was expected, and they discovered more cheerfulness than the author ever observed the Blacks in Africa, unless roused by liquor. The Kingston markets are as abundantly supplied with vegetables, both in variety, and quantity. Kingston swarmed with emigrants from St. Domingo, whose miseries and misfortunes did not fail to draw compassion and charity from its humane inhabitants, who subscribed most liberally to meliorate their sufferings.
