To the Blacks, Men of Color, and Indians in the United States and British North American Provinces: FRIENDS:--I am authorized and instructed by the Government of the Republic, to offer you, individually and by communities, a welcome, a home, and a free homestead, in Hayti. Such of you as are unable to pay your passage will be provided with the means of defraying it. Two classes of emigrants, five carreaux (a carreau is 3 acres and 3 1-3 rods) of fresh and fertile land, capable of growing all the fruits and staples of the tropics, will be gratuitously given, on the sole condition that they shall settle on it and cultivate it, and declare their intention of becoming citizens of Hayti To unmarried men, on similar conditions, two carreaux will be granted. Board and lodging, free of cost, will be furnished to the emigrants for at least eight days after their arrival in the island. [[/column 2]] [[column 3]] The government also will find remunerative work for those of you whose means will not permit you to begin immediately an independent cultivation. Emigrants are invited to settle in communities. Sites for the erection of schools and chapels will be donated by the State without regard to the religions belief of the emigrants. The same protection and civil rights that the laws give to Haytians are solemnly guaranteed to the emigrants. The fullest religious liberty will be secured to them; they will never be called on to support the Roman Catholic Church. No military service will be demanded of them, excepting that they shall form military companies and drill themselves once a month. All the necessary personal effects, machinery and agricultural instruments introduced by the emigrants, shall be entered free of duty. The emigrants shall be at liberty to leave the country at any moment they please; but those whose passage shall be paid by government, if they wish to return before the expiration of three years, will be required to refund the money expended on their account. A contract, fixing the amount, will be made with each emigrant before leaving the continent. I have been commissioned to superintend the interests of the emigrants and and charged with the entire control of the movement in America, and all persons, therefore, desiring to avail themselves of the invitation and bounty of the Haytian Government, are requested to correspond with me. I shall at once, as directed by the Government, establish a bureau of emigration in Boston, and publish a Guide Book for the use of those persons of African or Indian descent who may wish to make themselves acquainted with the resources of the country and disposition of its authorities. I shall also appoint Agents to visit such communities as may seriously entertain the project of emigration. Immediate arrangements, both here and in Hayti, can be made for the embarkment and settlement of one hundred thousand persons. By order of the Government of the Republic of Hayti.

All whose passage money is thus advanced will sign a contract engaging to repay the amount ($18) to the Government of Hayti within three years, in case they take grants of Government lands, or choose to leave the country within the time specified. Those who do not choose to accept Government lands, but remain over three years in the Island, will not be required to repay it at all. Emigrants must defray their own expenses in reaching the port of embarkation. Those who go in vessels specially chartered by this Bureau will be allowed to take any reasonable amount of household goods and farming implements free of charge. Those who go by regular packets will be charged for freight at the rate of 90 cents per barrel, or 18 cents per square foot. Usual length of voyage, from 14 to 20 days.
