Andrew Johnston and Priscilla Johnston to Anna Gurney, about the attempt to quash the report on South Africa by Gladstone and Bagshawe, the offer of Sir George Grey to place more papers from the Colonial Office before the Committee, Buxton's annoyance at the delay in making this offer but acceptance of it, and his subsequent unsatisfactory and worrying interview with James Stephen, 8 Jun 1837
Priscilla Johnston gives an account of her father's exhaustion after the previous day's activities, his anxiety over the Brewery because what was to happen there that day might affect the fortunes of the Buxton family for the next four generations, and uncertainty about the work of the Aborigines Committee; she also deals with family news very briefly.
