Buxton to Andrew Johnston, about intending to put the finishing touches to the model treaty and Instructions at Lushington's that day, his return to London on learning that Lord John Russell intended to accept Bandinel's Instructions, his need to be told of points of objection, and his success at finding Trotter at the Colonial Office in time to persuade Lord John Russell to agree to their wishes, 2 Dec 1840
He mentions that Sir George Stephen was likely to challenge him to a duel a second time for not finding £500 to publish papers abusing The Times. A postscript reports that R.R. Gurley [of the American Colonization Society] had addressed their committee meeting and that Madden had been introduced to it. Gurley had wanted the Society to restrict their interests to within certain limits in Africa; the Society had objected to this. (Copy.)
