| Title | Letter from Butscher to Pratt: 3 April 1815: Sierra Leone |
| Extent | 1 doc. |
| Date | 1815 |
| Description | The Hughes are returning on the 'Wilding'. Butscher has drawn a bill for Mrs. Hughes' passage, but not for Hughes who is only returning because of her. Hughes returned some of his outfit but not all. His attitude is unfriendly.
Butscher urgently asks for tools needed in the preparation of Leic. Mt. ground. He has taken 18 boys about 7 years old from a liberated slave cargo into CMS protection and hopes that with time and training they will prove useful. 37 boys and 6 girls are now in his care. 6 boys he took in 1814 are now monitors. Renner's dissatisfaction with the goods he received from the 'Neptune' vanished when Butscher gave him £100 worth at invoice price. Sutherland, the African Institution schoolmaster, calls himself superintendant of all the schools and has taken out an auctioneer's licence. His outlook appears too mercenary. |
