From the introduction:
In eleven letters this book tells the story of Jamaica as it was in 1842, a few years after the slaves had all become free men and women. In the first letter, James Capple, a Member of Parliament in England, asks his young nephew, Thomas, to visit Jamaica and find out what things are like on his sugar estate in St. Ann, and in other parts of the island. All the other ten letters are written by Thomas to his uncle and aunt telling them what he is doing in Jamaica and what he has discovered here.
