Scope and content
Acknowledges his of the 16th June received yesterday, and explaining that he has delayed writing himself until he should receive news from Haiti. Mr. Foulerton's [Fullerton?] son was due to return in May and accompany Vincent to England, taking advantage of Clarkson's invitation, but young Foulerton has not arrived. Vincent thinks that Clarkson has overestimated the worth of his Observations, but has no objection to the publication of something of which Clarkson evidently approves. Sends regards to Mrs. Clarkson.
