Dear Sir
A Gentleman of this House has express’d so kind an interest about the Colony on Pitcairns Island wishing the Missionary Society to attend to this case, that I cannot help mentioning it to you. I do this the rather because I have heard it lately positively asserted that the people on this Island cannot read. If this is the fact they may be expected to degenerate after the death
of their present head, and it may be the more proper to provide for such a Contingency because otherwise the Island may be visited or rather invaded by persons of a very different description than those who would be sent by the Missy Society, to the ruin of the simple Inhabitants.
I remain Dear Sir Sincerely
Your very
obedt
obedient
St
Cha Grant
Revd J. Pratt
