| Description | Endeavours to bring about a reconciliation between Douglas and his son William Archibald Douglas, an officer of the African Company under his command. The letter includes a copy of a letter written by Archibald Dalzel to the father of another officer on a similar occasion in 1792. A note in the hand of Charlotte Fox (nee Douglas) states that William Douglas would have succeeded Archibald Dalzel in the government of Cape Coast Castle if he had not died on his return to England. |
