-minter taken from the {illegible}
for the papers which will appear
in his name. He is quite ill &
has been for a long time. He says
Dr Ayres is sick. A Shuman also poorly.
1. The fort or Castle is not destroyed.
The roof not being on in season
the heavy rains havemade
a break in the wall, which
will be repaired. Capt SS
thinks white men cannot live
in Africa. He says the land
is very fertile the site a good
one for a colony but the blacks
are lazy. I wish to have all of
their work done but the Croomen
{illegible} government has
been good for nothing. Dr
Ayres immediately set about a
reform but is so sill as to be able
to write only a few hours at
a time. I will only state
one fact more - as it is an im-
portant one. Capt SS says the
southern blacks are much
better for Colonists than those
from the free states. Behave
much better & are far more
industrious. I think we must
not give up the enterprize. but
I doubt the expediency of sending a
cargo of negroes from N. England.
I hope you will go to New haven
& do what you can to lay a founda-
tion for obtaining aid from Ct.
When you got to N. Haven if you do not
find the review in the Spectator
I hope you will send me an
abstract of it as soon as may be,
to be embodied in an address to the
worshipping assemblies of New Eng-

prepare the address yourself -
Meantime do write imme-
diately to the Ex. Com. or to Gurley
& let them know that I must
have a commission from them
forwarded immediately to Bos-
ton suitable to be read in public
if they mean to have me do
anything for them.
May our Heavenly Father bless
you and Dear Sir & prosper the
cause in which we are enga-
ged.
Yours very affectionately
