- "There are three ways by which we may dispose of him, viz.: 1. we may re-enslave him; 2. we may apprentice him; 3. we may make him wholly free at once. The first cannot be done. ... Between the second and the third, I conscientiously believe it will be better to apprentice the confiscated Negro than to make him wholly free at once. I propose in this letter to develop a plan for apprenticing the Negro, differing wholly from the British West Indian method ... ." Cf. p. 4.
