He informs her that he had discussed the situation in the Cape (South Africa) and the commando system with Lord Glenelg, Sir George Grey, and James Stephen. They had told him they would restore the country to its owners, acknowledge the error of the government, appoint Stockenstrom as Deputy Governor on the frontier, and prohibit entry by armed men into the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. All this he attributes to the statement written by her though signed by himself, to the lies they had exposed and the injustice revealed. He asks her to send certain papers to Andrew Johnston for him. He tells her that he was going to the Methodist [Missionary Society] office that morning to induce them to retract a letter written by Shrewsbury, which he describes as more objectionable than the address to D'Urban, and repudiate the writer of it by threatening to withdraw his subscription to the Society. He reports on a satisfactory meeting on slavery at Lushington's the previous evening, the improvement in Priscilla's health, that he was returning by the Mail on Friday, that he had seen Gatty, and that he thought, from his agent's report, that he would be defeated in the next election at Weymouth. He asks her to allow Hannah, Joseph John Gurney, and William Forster to see the letter. Priscilla Johnston adds a letter of her own to Anna Gurney, saying that she thought her marriage [resulting in her no longer being her father's right hand] was an act of Providence to bring Anna Gurney into the field of labour. She reports on Buxton's high humour at the outcome of their exertions, his opinion of Lord Glenelg and Edward's view [that the government was in full support of the Agency.] Finally, she adds that she was delighted that their work could have such an outcome and that, although she could not be entirely free of envy and jealousy of her aunt, she was very pleased that her father had such a helper.
