They complain of the company's management of the estate, including the sale of enslaved people for what they suspect to have been less than their true value; the bill talked of in Parliament against the slave trade ought to increase their value. They request the sale of the estate and workers be halted until an impartial appraisal can be carried out by 'respectable planters', one to be an Englishman or Irishman, and one a Scotchman.
