Free to present them - especially as an offer is to be made to the Authorities unless the kind relatives of these people begin to send them out of the Country.

With the highest respect,

Shantha horia kounma Schind

To His Excellency,

This letter is to request to be informed whether there are emigrants suited to the W. Indies – fearing that they are likely to be so if the class of people who are to be sent are not so.

A communication has to be made to "Wo Marryatt & the gentlemen" who were here the other day, but I hope the form of agreement they proposed is not so unsuitable as to send any of the people now.
