Buxton to Joseph John Gurney, conveying a message from Floresi to John Henry Gurney, about the condition of an ostrich that he was sending him, 23 Sep 1840
He mentions the successful meeting in Dorset and his hope that other county meetings could quickly be arranged and that Sydney could be persuaded to address them on Africa. He needed to know what each clergyman was capable of doing by way of speaking about the cause in their own areas or further afield. He insists that the society would pay their expenses on their behalf. He asks him to fix a date for meeting Wodehouse and others like him at Earlham by the beginning of Nov. He enquires about the progress of Joseph John's book and adds that he was leaving it to Priscilla to tell him about Hannah.
