Telegram from James Alexander Swettenham to C. H. Davis
Governor Swettenham thanks Admiral Davis for his offer of assistance to Jamaica after the earthquake, but asks that he reembark all sailors and soldiers that he had landed in an effort to provide relief. Swettenham believes that the situation is no longer a question of humanity, but of convenience, and thinks that the present police force in Kingston will be enough to maintain the peace.
