The "Mémoire" provides geographical descriptions of the western coast of the African continent as well as an account of imports and exports the latter chiefly rubber and slaves Pelletan mentions 1000 to 1200 perhaps for the years under his administration prior to the suppression of the slave trade. The second half of the work deals primarily in describing the ravages of the slave trade on the country and it people: "It is without a doubt that the abolition of the slave trade will completely change the face of the region devastated for centuries by ceaseless warfare crippled by the enslavement of portions of its peoples and depopulated by this horrific commerce conducted by degraded persons and greedy European merchants who can only satisfy their avarice at the price of the blood and freedom of these miserable Africans" our translation; pp. 48-9. Pelletan also dedicates brief sections to the moral and physical attributes of the Senegalese inhabitants as well as a description of their homes and pottery before proposing a detailed outline for a newm post-slave trade colonial government for the region.

A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged.
