About the blow to his pride caused by his failure over some business concerning Miss Lloyd, a matter that had caused Lushington considerable amusement and a further blow over the sale of his book, with only 1150 having been disposed of in spite of all those he had given away and the stir it had caused, even being discussed at the Geographical Society. He mentions having settled some matter at the Brewery [consequent upon the death of Robert Pryor] and his return from a meeting of the old Anti-Slavery Society, which advocated depriving Jamaica of its House of Assembly, in the company of the garrulous Thomas Sturge and Pease. He asks that they remember him the following day when they would again be meeting at Lushington's about the African project, reporting that he felt rather indifferent about the whole affair since no one appeared to be particularly interested in it. He tells her that he was going to Hampstead the following Monday, where they were all very pleased about Edward Hoare's engagement to Sir Benjamin Brodie's daughter and where he would meet Baron Alderson. In a postscript, he mentions that Sanderson was negotiating to acquire Gunton. (Memoir, p. 446) (Copy.)
