Sligo was appointed Governor of Jamaica in 1834. His efforts on behalf of the recently-emancipated slaves (including the financing of two schools) caused him to become unpopular with the plantation owners, and he was effectively ousted in 1836. 2pp, 12mo. Twenty-one lines of text. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded for postage. Small square of paper with engraving of the family crest laid down at the foot of the second page.

That I did so with courtesy to you, I cannot offer you better testimony than that of the Noble Lord, who made the Motion. The affair is still in Parliamentary train'. Sligo will, once 'the papers which were moved for shall have been presented', 'set [.] right at once' 'any error in point of fact which may have, thro my inadvertence, crept into my statement'.…

1p., 12mo. Good, on aged paper. The letter reads: 'The Dowr.
