Darling). At the time of sending, Darling had just lost his position as the Governor of Newfoundland after a dispute regarding French Fishing rights between Cape St John and Cape Ray and was newly appointed the position of Captain / Governor Chief of Jamaica. An interesting historical item. Estimate -
