Abstract

Thomas D. Fay, a former resident of the Sailors' Snug Harbor, writes Governor Melville to inform him that he is living in Kingston, Jamaica, having been expelled from Sailors' Snug Harbor six months previously, on May 1, 1875. He explains that he has been ill but that he wishes to contact Governor Melville with his whereabouts, as he has been told that former inmates who may wish to return should keep the governor informed about their location.
