Missionary report from Grenada on society growth and challenges
Extra of a letter from John Willis, Grenada, 1810, describes a growing mixed society of enslaved and free people with a new class of White members at St Johns. He notes Catholic dominance, language barriers for English preaching, and a convert from Roman Catholicism. He reports public and private meetings thriving, love feasts, and a need for funds to repair the chapel and buy adjacent housing for a teacher as debts mount.
