Letter concerning Lord Bathurst and [Robert] Wilmot enrolling as members of the Asiatic Society. However, the majority of the content relates to slave trade in Java and the efforts to suppress it by Godert Alexander Gerard Philip, Baon van der Capellen, and a Reverend Philip Wedding. The letter is undated and unsigned, but both Lord Bathurst (1762-1834) and Robert John Wilmot (1784-1841) joined the Society in 1823 so the letter could be dated to the same year. With accompanying typed note describing the content.
