Buxton to Andrew Johnston, about Prince Albert's interest in Trew and his request that the Society should not at that time pursue their enquiries but should leave the matter in his hands, 3 Mar 1843
He draws his and Priscilla's attention to the report in the Globe of Aberdeen's answer to Brougham's question about the slave trade, noting that the time would come when it would be abolished altogether. Buxton was jubilant because he believed it meant that Aberdeen was planning to carry out their scheme. He asks Andrew to purchase a present for Priscilla on his behalf, worth up to £25, and to tell him in every letter how she was. Finally, he remarks that one of their children was very good and sweet and entertaining to him. (Memoir, p. 571.) (Copy.)
