He repeats what he had already written to Trew about making a concession to the Catholic bishops over the use of the Vulgate in religious instruction, while standing firm over no one but the Mico Trustees being allowed to select their schoolmasters. He answers Lushington's query about cutting down their numbers in Trinidad and Guiana (Guyana) by urging an increase in their activities there for the next five years, after which time he thinks they might not be able to function in those colonies. He advises against a permanent establishment. He estimates that one-sixth of the Black population was in those two colonies and should therefore receive a sixth of their funds, foresees that it would increase while other colonies would decrease, and urges that they should establish such good schools that the Catholics would either yield to their superiority or try to emulate them in their own establishments if they still wished to supplant them. He states that the Black people were not really Catholics but pagans. He tells Lushington of a document he had seen, issued by the Jesuit Missionary Society at Lyons, which was responsible for the missions in those two colonies, which admitted that the Catholics in Guiana (Guyana) were newly arrived people who had no true title to the Black people whom they claimed as Catholic souls, promising to send him a translation. He argues that Protestant zeal ought to be roused to ensure that their religion had fair play; he did not fear the Catholics would suffer since they were able to make a little money go a long way and were supported by great ardour. He hoped to be able to get the whole range of the missionary report though they were rather jealous of letting heretics see them. He did not blame them for their activities but the Mico Charity should be on the alert concerning their own action and interests. (Copy.)
