T71/1606: letter from C. Harvey, 2 Queen St. Place, Southwark Bridge, writing on behalf of Robert Ross Douglas, stating that, by letters from Jamaica, we find he has only been paid £300 currency; I have reason to know that the sum received by the parties empowered amounted to a much greater sum - an action has been launched in Jamaica for the difference.
