Extent1 doc.
Date1815
DescriptionSchulze brings plans for the Institution buildings, and Butscher is asked to suggest improvements and work out costs. Pratt gives the CMS 15th Annual Report - an answer to Dr. Thorpe's violent attack on the Institution.
Industrious natives might be encouraged to settle on Institution land with a grant of 5 acres for their own cultivation provided they conform to Institution rules. Sanders, a well-educated, American man [of black African heriatge], who has taught children [of black African heriatge] in Boston, has offered his services. After some preparation in England he should be very useful.
He sends a consignment of useful goods as a present to Fernandez. CMS has proposed to him a settlement on his land which might develop into a second Institution. He suggests an Auxiliary of the B.F.B.S. in S. L. with the Governor as patron and the chaplain as president.
