J'ay trouvé en arrivant au mois de Mars 1738. la Caisse Sans argent..." La Croix defends himself to Maurepas: Lack of money and ammunition, damage by fire, and a smallpox epidemic have made for poor conditions in Martinique; there were hurricanes in Guadeloupe and Mariegalante in 1738 and 1740, a British invasion was feared, and because Irish oxen were no longer imported there was a general dearth of food. After retailing his handling of all these problems he also defends his wife who has been accused of conducting a lucrative business and of being stingy. Postscript, dated 11 March 1741, states that an extra-ordinary tax is being levied on all inhabitants., Original digital object name: bei-m076a, This digital resource is provided by the Special Collections, Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, United States.
