He writes that he is going to Lord Wodehouse to persuade him to undertake the county meetings, that the preparatory dinner would be at Earlham on 3 Nov, and that Buxton must be present, and asks him to invite Harry Upcher to it. He announces the date of the anti-slavery meeting on the 6th and the African meeting at St. Andrew's Hall on the 10th. He had stopped Wiseman from forming societies and was glad that Buxton had suspended his activities. He refers to the requisition they would be preparing that week to be addressed either to the Lord Lieutenant or to the High Sheriff concerning the convening of a meeting. He says that he is pleased that Edward would not, after all, go abroad that winter. Finally, he refers to a note he was enclosing on an entirely different subject.
