| Description | Antigua, his visit to England on account of Lady Payne's health, Mr Nugent spent ten days at Antigua before proceeding to Tortola, "I dare persuade myself that he will acquit himself of the Commission with which his Majesty hath honoured him, with reputation", the people among whom he is to live are neither the most tractable or pleasant in a political light nor the most sociable in a convivial one, he shall not want the interposition of my auxillary authority for the support of his own in the Virgin Islands, and I will exert every endeavour in my power to render his residence in them, easy and comfortable to him" |
