Planned to visit the French division of the island (to meet with the Methodists there) but informed by the Commandant that on the orders of the Governor General of Guadeloupe that he was not permitted to do so, regardless as to whether he was visiting in an official or private capacity. If necessary force would be used against him to stop his entry to the French division. Knows of no charge against him and his society does not permit him to interfere with the politics or secular concerns of foreign countries. States the positive effect the Methodist mission has had in the Dutch part of the island. Humbly begs his Majesty to remove this prohibition affecting him. Original petition was dated 19 May 1846 at Philipsburg, Saint Martin.
