From William Wilberforce, Uxbridge to Zachary Macaulay, Mansion House, London relating to a range of issues including the discussions mediated by Macaulay regarding setting prices for colonial produce. Wilberforce writes that his youngest grand-child has been 'dangerously ill' and that his son William has been very concerned. Wilberforce hopes that when his grand-child is better Macaulay will speak to William [Jnr] about the work of the Free Labour Tropical Produce Society.

Wilberforce asks whether the Chancellor has made a decision on the subject of the various Companies. With reference to the Sierra Leone Affairs Wilberforce says they 'should have deferred our proceedings as soon as the war broke out'. He also says 'I am almost sorry for having retired when I find this subject likely to come before the House [of Commons]'. There is also a post note about the sad losses on the Gold Coast.

A note has been added that this letter is 'Important for the early history of Sierra Leone'. With a typescript transcript of the letter.
