  <dc:title>John Longsdon at Boston [United States of America] to his mother Elizabeth Longsdon saying that he has no very good news</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Prince Edward Island is no primeval paradise but a garden over-grown with weeds inhabited by a most complete idle collection of all Nations. He left Halifax [Nova Scotia] on Sunday 23 and landed at Boston on Sunday 30 July. He is impressed. Here as in England, business is overdone. Manchester houses have manufactured enough to serve the world for 4 or 5 years.
He has frequently visited George Barker from Darley Dale who is engaged in lucrative business and has 2 pretty children and a wife. He has no positive plans.</dc:description>
