TitleLetter from Pratt to Renner and Wilhelm [copy]: 21 November 1814: London
Extent1 doc.
Date1814
DescriptionHe allays Renner's anxiety over his indebtedness for his share of the 'Neptune's' goods which he ordered, but prices have risen through war with America. Asks him to order the goods he desires, send a debtor-creditor account half-yearly, and write in the margin of every bill the precise purpose for which each sum is to be used. He sends the equipment for Bashia church, which should be called Christ Church. The Hughes will be bringing their son and the African boy, Thomas Morgan, with them.
He urges Wilhelm to make evangelisation his chief occupation and to help in bringing up to date the Rio Pongas chart with ground plan and view of Bashia and Canoffee, and to prepare Susu books.
Postscript: Richard Wilkinson, who seems unsatisfactory, will not be received (should he come to England) unless he comes approved by the missionaries.
