| Description | Has received Galton's letter and that of his brother with their proposals for him to go to Cape Coast Castle in Africa. Cannot send an immediate answer until he is informed about the nature of the employment and salary. He is reluctant to risk his health in a dangerous climate without any advantage to himself. Discusses the possibility of coming to stay with the Galtons in Birmingham. Believes that this will give him a better opportunity to discuss going to Guinea or entering any other employment. |
