Hannah Buxton to Sarah [Buxton], about the significance of this week in Buxton's campaign, 3 Apr 1832
Significance of this week in Buxton's campaign. She writes that he blames the rebellion [of enslaved people in Jamaica?] on the planters, although she feels that without his activities it might not have taken place, and adds that he is not too depressed by the event as he still hopes for good results in the end. She mentions a distressing disagreement between him and Dr Lushington, though the latter had promised never to desert him completely in Parliament, and comments that Buxton has toned down his emancipation motion in the hopes that the government may not reject it outright. She mentions his good health and the support and assistance he receives from Priscilla. She comments on her own not very good state of health, and writes of her anxiety at the outbreak of cholera in the country. She describes the health and activities of Chenda, Joseph Hoare, and Louisa [Hoare].
