He asks him to tell those at Northrepps that James Stephen approved his third chapter, that McBriar, Morgan, and Dr Bunting, whom he had visited that day, all agreed with his views on Africa and also advocated sovereignty over a large territory, and that on Tuesday he would describe his scheme to a gathering of missionaries. He describes the letter Dr Bowring had handed to him from the Pasha of Egypt, indicating that he was adopting their ideas; he was having it translated. He mentions the meeting with the King of Barra's son. He sends a message to Richards about his depression over the mistakes detected in his book, adding that he expects Richards to get out of the scrape as best he could, but suggesting a complicated way to correct the errors in the book. Finally, he asks if there was anything Charles wanted and promises to remember the quadrant. (Copy.)
