He reports on the commendable conduct of the Black people in the West Indies following emancipation, the way the hand of Providence could be traced in all their moves to obtain emancipation, naming each example and his interest in the state of the indigenous peoples bordering on British settlements. He remarks on the good fortune that Grant [Lord Glenelg] was Colonial Secretary when the first Xhosa War broke out, as he had been able to reverse all Sir Benjamin D'Urban's attempts to confiscate, plunder, and exterminate when declaring the acquisition of the new territory of Adelaide. He also describes the sessions of the Aborigines Committee. On 10 Sep, he resumed the letter to record the death of his sister-in-law, Louisa Hoare, and pay tribute to her character.
