20-page account containing A.D. Ward's recollections of his working life in various Barbados sugar mills and plantations including in chronological order: 1929 - Haymans (Cane Weigher), Mount Prospect Plantation (Acting Manager), Sion Hill, Taitts and Alleynedale (Chief Overseer), 1934 - Portland (Manager), 1937 - Todds, comprising Lemon Arbour, Airy Hill and Belle Farm Plantations (Manager), 1940 - Alleynedale, comprising Six Mens and Farrs (Manager). Ward remained at Alleynedale until his retirement in 1971.
At the time of writing, Ward describes himself as currently working as "Attorney" for several (listed) plantations. He remarks, "When everything is going good, the Managers are in full charge, but when things go wrong, I am in full charge. I am responsible for all bad luck".
Ward also details:
(1) The "Conditions of Work in Jobs" describing his working hours, duties and relationships with his co-workers and employers (the Chandler family of Alleynedale, in particular).
(2) The circumstances that led to ceasing sending sugar cane to the windmills at Alleynedale and Six Mens in 1945, preferring to send the cane direct to the factories. These mills were dismantled in 1946.
(3) The various books/accounts that Ward was required to keep.
(4) A comparative log of acreage, usage, rainfall and soil type over the years at Alleynedale.
(5) The structure and machinery of the windmills, as well as the processes and employees required, noting that an estate using windmills and animal drawn vehicles required, "a Carpenter, a Painter, a Mill Carpenter, a Plumber, a Copper Smith, a Wheel Wright, a Sail Maker, a Black Smith and a Saddler....".
(6) Ward's subsidiary trade as a horse-breeder during his time at Alleynedale.
