Buxton to his uncle, Charles Buxton, about the latter's loss of one eye, which had grieved them all, 22 Sep 1840
He refers to the payment of a bill for fish that he owed and sending game to Bellfield. He was willing to accompany him to Italy but preferred Bellfield and Northrepps. He suggests that since he would be in London from 6-16 Oct, it would be a suitable time for his uncle to visit him there and then continue to Northrepps, tempting him with the promise of whitebait caught locally. He mentions that Edward was not well and had gone to Leamington instead of visiting them in Norfolk and that he himself was using a pony to carry him on his shooting expeditions, one that ate bread and cheese and liked beer, judiciously preferring their own brew of porter.
