INDEX
This index covers persons, places and subjects, including those mentioned in the Introduction. All recipients of letters, and their domiciles, have been indexed; other people, places and things mentioned in the letters have been indexed if they occur more than casually. Individuals and topics that occur on almost every page – such as Freeman himself, Robert Helme, sugar, slaves, and certain islands – have not been indexed continuously, but critical aspects of their lives and business have been itemized in more detail. Individual plantations are seldom named; they are indexed where they do occur but will mostly be found as non-specific references under the entry, 'plantation'. The spellings of names have been standardized.
Index references are to page numbers.
