He states that it would go against his conscience to demand the abolition of the apprenticeship, much as he wished it, or to abstain from telling the delegates his views on this matter, although that was as far as he would feel it necessary to go. He still hoped that the delegates would choose to aim for absolute liberty of Black people from 1840 rather than the foredoomed plea for abolition of the apprenticeship system in 1838. He asks Forster to help prevent a split within the anti-slavery movement over this difference and, to that end, authorises him to present the delegates with his views in another form if he thought there was anything objectionable in his letter. Finally, he informs Forster that he would be passing through London on his way to Weymouth on 20 Nov. (Copy.)
