W.E. Forster to Sarah Buxton, 30 Nov 1837
About a meeting of the Committee of the Anti-Slavery Society that day to receive the report of the Delegates. He was opposed to a resolution to support that of the Delegates on the abolition of the apprenticeship system. Despite this, he had been nominated onto a committee to arrange a public meeting and intended to ensure the introduction of the subjects that really matter at that meeting: the fate of non-praedials and the prevention of apprenticeship of the children. He advocates utilising the enthusiasm for the anti-slavery cause then.
