Abstract:
Anger over conditions of colonization in Liberia, missionaries at the root of problems in Liberia; "Those Ministers of Religion as you are pleased to call them must be Stripped of the means they have of setting an example of indolent leisure before our Colonists..." This will negatively influence them. Ladies attended by boys and girls"affect the style and ape the manner of the their former masters"--which Sheridan believes is an evil.
