Buxton to Anna Gurney and Sarah Buxton, about the sections they had sent him and how moved he was by the one on cruelty, asking when he would have Richard's section, and mentioning his visit to Poles the previous day and his anxiety lest Anna should overwork herself, 10 Jun 1839
He promises much enjoyment in their holiday in Rome that autumn. He also mentions the prospect of a party with the Ashanti princes at Edward's house. The first part of his chapter of The Remedy was at the printers and he had accepted the improvements to his style incorporated by Priscilla, though he was disappointed at the poor sale of his first book. He was looking forward to their journey to Rome and the possibility of spending the two cold months in Naples. Finally, he inquires about Richard Gurney and adds that he hoped he would try Cheltenham or something better on the Continent for his health. (Memoir, p. 447.) (Copy.)
