Incomplete copy of letter from [G B] Dormoy, Mayor of Marigot, to Forget, Commandant of St Martin [French part], regarding Monsieur [William] Rogers, a preacher from the Methodists in the Dutch part of the island, being given permission to attend a service in Marigot. Original letter was dated 25 February 1843.
Copy of letter from Cha[rle]s A Fitz Roy, Governor in Chief, Antigua, to Cha[rle]s G Cunningham, Lieut[enant] Governor, St Christopher's, reminding Cunningham of the petition he left with him to ask the French Governor General of Saint Martin to allow a Wesleyan Minister to preach there. States although not a matter he is entitled to interfere with he sent the petition to the Governor General of Guadeloupe. Received a reply stating that as the Wesleyan minister referred to had abused a former permission granted to him 'by interfering and agitating the minds of the populace on political topics', particularly slavery and the conditions of enslaved people, they will not grant him access. Original letter was dated 24 May 1844. |
