| Description | He awaits a public renunciation of the charges brought against him but has been dissuaded from resigning. He would like to resign his chaplaincy immediately and attend solely to Leic. where Horton and During are too inexperienced to cope with nearly 350 children. The Johnsons are now at Hogbrook, but would have been sent elsewhere had he known that Mrs. Johnson did not know the alphabet.
The bearer of this letter is Thomas Wilfred, Butscher's neighbour in Freetown. Butscher has sent his daughter, Mary, and her nurse, Sally Butscher, home aboard the 'Echo'. In England they will be in the care of Mr. and Mrs. Harris of 215 High St., Poplar. |
