Priscilla Buxton to Anna Gurney and Sarah Buxton, written from London, where they had returned for the new session of Parliament, and where their own house was in turmoil. She writes that the government had agreed to take up the cause of abolition, to her father's great joy, although doubts still remain and he was being reviled by the anti-slavery lobby. She comments on his selflessness and contentment in taking a less active role now in the matter. She goes on to say that in a note, Lord Suffield had complained of the government's duplicity, and had threatened to join forces with George Stephen to throw out the measure, and that Stephen himself had called during breakfast, completing the feeling that they were really back home and their six months' absence from London had merely been a fantasy.
