I would advise the immediate publication of the report of the trials, which I send now, because they will do good, by spreading useful information. The letters which grew out of this occasion, I submit to your discretion. If you think they contain matter of sufficient interest to be made public, I lay no injunction om you to withhold them; and in this view you may consider these communications as the precursor and introduction of a series of letters respecting this country and colony, which I think, the novel state of Africa will shortly justifiy, being collected under the title of The African Register

I am, dear SIR,

Your very obedient servant.
