<mods:abstract>On July 17, 1765, the Brown brothers finally received a letter from Esek Hopkins, sent from Africa two months before.  The news revived the hopes of the financially overextended brothers, who feared that the Sally had been lost.  On July 19, they wrote two letters to Hopkins, one of which they sent to Barbados and this letter, which they directed to Africa.  In the letter, the Browns suggested Jamaica as the colony offering the best prices for enslaved Africans and reiterated their request that he return to Providence with "Five Likely boys" for the family's own use.</mods:abstract>
