Salt Gut (A74) although it no longer exists, was a small port on the north coast near, and
overshadowed by, Ocho Rios. It had the same postmaster from 1841 till 1870 but the office dosed
in 1893 on account of the small amount of business being transacted.
Unfortunately not all of this letter is decipherable, but the writer was in high dudgeon - ' have been
landed and I am perfectly astonished that you or any respectable firm should even think of
shippi ng such an article' and ' and await your instructions as to what I am to do with it' are
excerpts from the letter showing his displeasure.
