| Description | MacCarthy writes that he has received Sabine's interesting letters, but that he has been detained by the business of the colony during the summer months. He writes of the difficulties he is having with the King of Ashantie and his efforts to quell fighting in the region; he will embark on the colonial schooner in a few days to Cape Coast to address the hostilities. He thanks Sabine for having supported his group at a Lord Calthorpe's, where it appears there was some argument of a religious nature. He also states that he has directed the planting of coffee in the mountains, and that more could be planted should it prove profitable. |
