Note 3 — TO THE BRITISH PLANTERS.
Reading edition
It appears by the accounts of that board, there has been expended by them to the 31st March, 1761, in finishing said fort 15,024l. 18s. 3d. so that rebuilding it has cost 34,590l. 12s. 5d. sterling, which fort is only useful for the defence of the Negroes in the town under it, and to protect them from their enemies of their own colour, who have no cannon or mortars, and to defend the landing-place, that no ship of force can get near.
