Priscilla Buxton to Sarah Buxton, about her father's success in moving an address to the King about the conditions of indigenous peoples, 2 Jul 1834
She writes of John Scoble's news that more and better clothing for Black people was being exported from Halifax that year than ever before, his hopes that opinion was improving in America, and her own fears that this was not so. She describes the changed opinion of a West Indian plantation owner called Messer regarding her father; also, the writing of Buxton's address, which had to be passed by the Anti-Slavery Society.
