He asks if he had seen the suggestion in The Record by Stowell that a college should be established in the West Indies for training African missionaries to be sent to Africa and warns him that at the next meeting of the Trustees, he proposed suggesting an arrangement that would remove the financial difficulty of his remaining Secretary. He explains that he would do nothing to prevent Trew from taking on professional engagements and even living at some distance from town, provided that he was still responsible for the organisation of the Mico Charity. An annotation refers to the answer to Trew's letters in bag 1838. (Copy.)
