Buxton to James Stephen, asking how matters regarding his slave trade question were progressing since he had not yet been summoned to London as expected, 13 Dec 1838
He asks whether Canada's affairs had superseded his matter or whether the propositions he had sent Glenelg had rendered his presence in London unnecessary. He adds that, to the best of his knowledge, Brougham had never read his book, only seen it for two minutes at William Allen's, yet he had heard from a correspondent in Havanna (Havana) that Brougham was asking for information on the slave trade. He offers to show the letter to Stephen as it contained other important matter. (Copy.)
