Lewis is still in New York.

We have appointed another agent, named Scott, but who is doing nothing for the Colony now.
May the blessings of God rest upon you, and your endeavors; your good deportment put to silence your enemies; may they who foresee that you will cheat the poor colored children, be sadly mistaken, and your good deeds finally enrol your name on the proud list of philanthropists, headed by a Wilberforce and a Clarkson.
Yours, in great haste, AUSTIN STEWARD.
Wilberforce, Dec., 1835.
* * * * * FROM L.A.SPALDING TO A.STEWARD AND OTHERS.
DEAR FRIENDS: I have received a letter from Israel Lewis, New York, requesting me to forward fifty dollars to the treasurer of the Wilberforce Colony, which I will do at the first convenience.

I sent fifty dollars some time since, which I presume was received.
I have also received a letter from B.Lundy, who speaks very flatteringly of the Settlement; but gives me some information relating to Lewis, which will injure you, unless you act wisely.
Now I suggest for your consideration, whether it would not be best to keep perfectly quiet relative to him, until after he returns and settles with the directors.

If he cannot then satisfy you, he will no doubt surrender up his documents and agency like a man, and leave you to appoint another.
By all means you must agree among yourselves, not suffering any difference of opinion to become public.

Your enemies will seize upon this, and injure your prospects; besides, you gain nothing by it.
