Summary: Brief letter from Tracy [corresponding secretary, London Missionary Society] explaining that he saw Lord Liverpool [Robert Banks Jenkinson] in the company of Mr Baxter and Mr [John] Wray. His lordship agreed to give up the week nights' restriction. Thinks this is 'tantamount to the Reestablishment of the former Religious Liberty & consequently to the Repeal of the Proclamation'. Some pencil annotations and notes, probably by Allan, including the fact that Wray commented 'I'd rather give up the Mission to [the] D[evil] than give up Week Nights' and that Tracy received a letter from Mr [Robert] Peel stating that Wray and 'the negroes' of Demerara [Guyana] should have the opportunity to worship on Sundays and weekday evenings.
