Extent1 doc.
Date1814
DescriptionHe recommends the Hughes to MacCarthy's protection. Whether they or others appointed by Lord Bathurst are put in charge of the liberated children, it is important that they should be responsible to CMS and under Butscher's direction as CMS representative in S. L. Their salaries are the Society's, not their own. CMS has fitted them out at great expense and would wish Butscher to pay them their salaries, having received them from the government. If all liberated children are placed under CMS in the Christian Institution CMS will incur all other expenses save maintenance allowance. He asks MacCarthy to allow Wenzel suitable boys to work as cultivators at Canoffee, a very fertile and promising settlement.
