DescriptionLetter from 'C. Harris', Kingston and St Andrew Corporation, Town Clerk's Office, Kingston, Jamaica to Neville Chamberlain. 12 September.

A letter regarding Jamaica being 'referred to in high official circles as a very troublesome and difficult colony to govern' which Harris says is true; says Jamaica 'is passing through the worst stage in any country's history'; and says the present Governor of Jamaica, Sir Arthur Richards is a good man for the job and that opposition to him was from selfish merchants and wealthy planters who had 'enjoyed immunity from reasonable taxation for years'.
