He approves of what they had done concerning the African princes and advises them to keep Messrs Hutton of Watling Street informed of all their actions. He also approves of Lushington's action regarding the treaties and writes that he relied on him to produce a model treaty as just towards the African communities as William Penn's treaty was to the indigenous peoples of North America. He expresses gratitude for all that he and Trew and Edward were doing for the production of his book but objects to the charge of 4/- for a copy and suggests that they would have to reduce it to 3/-, 2/- or even less to get people to read it since he hoped to thereby interest the whole English population to make it determined to put down the slave trade. He hoped to do the same thing in France, the United States, and Portugal, where he believed ignorance was the cause of indifference to the subject. He advises him to get McQueen to criticise the model treaty when it was finished. He writes that he appreciates Lushington's criticism of The Remedy, knowing what a severe critic he was. He repeats the advice he had given Trew about the Catholic Bishop, Trinidad, and the Mico Charity, adding that he had feared Trew would not agree with his conclusions and was relieved at finding, from Lushington's letter, that he had. He disagrees with Lushington and Lord John Russell over the suitability of Charles Grant for appointment to the Governorship of the Gambia, maintaining that he was not, as they thought, the tool of the Forsters, since he had not even applied for the post at the last vacancy because it would have placed him in their debt. He advises them both to consult Forster on his return to England, as well as Bunting and Beecham on this appointment. He reveals that he had no confidence in Captain Huntley, who was closely linked with the Fernando Po Company, was reputed to have flogged some Black people there, and was an enemy of Colonel Nicholls, yet he agrees with his points that a large Black population was needed there to clear away the forest on the lower regions to make the island healthy, and that possession of the islands of St. Thomas and Princes (São Tomé and Príncipe) would facilitate the seizure of slave ships. He doubts whether it would be prudent to ask the government for £4,000 p.a. to make this possible since it came within the sphere of employment of force; he would prefer the government to hire the islands of its own volition of 'put a Consul afloat'. He declines to give advice about a monopoly since Lushington understood that matter much better than he did and writes saying he would like to see the model treaty before it was finally resolved but thought that might be impossible. He reports on Hannah's improved health, the issuing of the Pope's Bull, and the rage of the Portuguese ambassador in Rome at its publication. (Copy.)
