By 1869 Hudson was deeply in debt, in bad health and living in exile so Taylor and Elliot started a subscription fund which they launched with donation of 100 Guineas each.

Hudson returned to England in 1870 and visited Taylor at Chipchase Castle in April that year. Hugh Taylor (MP) Hugh Taylor (1817–1900)
