About his reasons for not having answered his letter before, saying that he would best understand if he sent him a copy of The Remedy, mentioning the encouragement he had received since the printing of the book and the formation of the new African Institution. He thanks him for the information about the possibility of supplying agents for Africa and the encouragement it had given him, asking him to continue to write to him through Trew, who would ensure that the letters reached him even though he might be out of England, and explaining that the state of his wife's health was the reason for his proposed absence. He promises to send him an autograph of Wilberforce when the letters he had lent his sons were returned. (Copy.)
