Letter from [Dr] Benj[amin] Hodge, A M Hancock, Joseph Hodge, Abraham J Lee & Daniel Adams, being inhabitants of Marigot, to G B Dormoy, Mayor of Marigot [Saint Martin]. Under the impression that the Rev William Satchell, as long as he refrains from engaging in any of his ministerial functions, is permitted as a private individual to enter the French Quarter. However, yesterday the Commandant informed him that under no circumstances would he be permitted to visit the quarter. Ask mayor to approach the Governor of Guadeloupe to authorise Satchell to be allowed to enter the quarter as a private individual and give assurances he will not preach, etc. Original letter was dated 29 April 1846.
Letter from Hodge, etc (as above) to Mayor of Marigot [G B Dormoy] that they have not had a formal response to their letter of 29 April. Concerned they haven't had a reply from the Governor, despite his (the Mayor's) sympathetic view and confidence. Beg for a response soon. Original letter was dated 13 July 1846.
Letter from Hodge, etc (as above) to Mayor of Marigot [G B Dormoy] expressing their unhappiness over 'the dead silence' in reply to their previous letters regarding Rev Mr [William] Satchell. His Protestant faith should compel him to argue their cause, which he has had ample time to do. Fear now that he is indifferent to their cause. Remove any previous securities of conduct they offered. Original letter was dated 20 July 1846.
Letter from Joh[anne]s de Veer, Lieut[enant] Governor of St Eustatius, to Rev James Cox, Chairman of the [Methodist] District, expressing desire of inhabitants to retain the services of Rev William Satchell for another year. As he has been appointed to another district some inhabitants have written a letter to the Wesleyan [Methodist] Missionary Society requesting he is returned to this mission. Passing letter on to Cox and adds his testimony of Satchell's valuable service to the community. Original letter was dated 26 July 1842. With a testimony to Satchell's good character, 3 June 1845.
