He promises to let him have £200, half of which Trew had expected from him in the first place and the other half he had expected from the committee. He asks what had happened at the recent finance committee meeting, and mentions his distress at the amount of their debt. He announces that the Schöns had arrived in Sierra Leone and had seen Thompson who, after visiting the interior, had given a favourable account of their objects. He asks whether he had done anything about inviting Samuel Crowther to visit Northrepps before his departure for Africa, suggesting late in the year as a suitable time. He ends with a prayer for God's blessing on Trew and for his happiness. (Copy.)
