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.
