Received word that a parliamentarian from Jamaica arrived at Santiago de Cuba and will be leaving in six days for Nantes. Has sold all the goods brought from St. Domingue except a "paire de bracelets à cheveux." Lost profits on damaged goods. Robiou-Savignais is indisposed at Santiago. Writing from the plantation at 6 Lieues (last letter was carried by M. Duranton to France). When Robiou returns, will go to Santiago where Marliani & Co. papers are located. Has not heard word from Gosselin and worries that wife and children are in need. The recent disastrous events at St. Domingue have taken away his means and ability to provide help.
