| Description | He would welcome more personal communication from the Committee, as he needs encouragement with his deteriorating sight and hearing.
The Kleins joining Canoffee caused friction and their removal, of which he will give full explanation, is required. The church building has been begun. He is managing well with the aid of girls who had been enslaved and subsequently 'redeemed' ('redeemed slave-girls') helping him with the children.
Building is slow owing to war scares, but he hopes to roof it before the rains. He describes the foundation laying service. He gives an account of promising scholars, his expenditure on redeeming and 'maintaining' enslaved people, and names and descriptions of all the schoolchildren.
He requests that the £70 for 28 children Christmas 1812 to Midsummer 1813 be counted as outfit and asks for £200 worth of goods specified by Christmas 1814. |
