| Description | He is happy to support CMS and welcomes the government decision to hand over all liberated children to the Society for education. An allotment of 1000 acres of land, in addition to the 100 acres granted, has been made. He regards Hughes as doing good work and intends to raise the matter of his own inability to contribute towards teachers salaries with Earl Bathurst. He holds out little immediate hope of the Rio Pongas mission, but considers the idea of the Society having its own vessel very practical. |
