Description (What the record is about)
-
Reports that plans were being made to start a school on the island for both locals and West Indians. Notes that, among other advantages, having a school locally would remove the necessity of sending students to America where 'they might be poisoned by principles destructive of the attachment to the parent state'.
Also comments on his correspondence with the Bishop of London who had requested an account of ecclesiastical matters, including the character of the clergy.
James Willcocks, Governor of Bermuda, No. 23, Folios 171-172
