Content Description

His account of an interview with Lord Camden. Charles Barber has arrived in England but is very ill. He says that, although the claim is jsut, the debt will only be paid to oblige the Governor General and Government, so much influence is needed. Camden says he does not know what interest could be found if his was not good! Expects the matter already to have been settled. With a note that Barber died on Aug 11, worth £200,000 and no relation in the world.
