He suggests that, in addition to the scheme proposed by Buxton, a plan should be developed to send captured Africans to the West Indies to provide them with education and training in small communities where they would be safe from attack. They could be returned to Africa knowing the languages of the areas and French and English. A considerable and continual intercourse between the two countries should be encouraged. He reports that a number of people in the West Indies were anxious to return to Africa, provided they could be protected there. He had no fear that the apprentices on his estate, whose indentures would shortly expire, would leave his service as they were as much under his care as the enslaved people had been previously. He claims that the West Indians were much misrepresented in Britain and admits that he and others would have resisted Emancipation if it had been possible because, despite the apparently generous amount of compensation provided by Britain, they had been deprived of much of the value of what they had worked hard for and acquired legally. Nevertheless, he rejoices that slavery had ceased in the British dominions and hoped to see it ended throughout the world.
