Discusses molasses and sugar sales. Instructs Leverich, a financial agent, to forward a letter to Mary Linton, who will return from Europe in March. Notes that Linton's funds are in Leverich's hands, and he should let her have them if she needs them. Writes, "Tell your abolition friends, that they need not trouble themselves on the subject of slavery God will put an end to it, in his own good time." Refers to sugar as the main product of slave labor, and predicts that a change in climate, not men's efforts, will end slavery. Includes a note written in pencil underneath docket.
