Scope and content
Announces his pleasure that with the arrival of Mr. Foulerton [Fullerton], junior he has been able to make the journey to London, but excusing himself for reasons of fatigue from making the journey to Ipswich to see Clarkson. He spoke with Gregoire before he left, who was very anxious to be remembered to Clarkson, and Vincent attaches a writing of Gregoire's to this letter [not here]. He discusses in detail the disordered condition of Haiti as relayed by Foulerton, which he does find reassuring.
