John to James - congratulating on brightening prospects - Offer to writer to go to Malta now made in more pleasant manner and likely to be more advantageous than anticipated. Mr M proposes to take William into business in writer's place - best thing which could happen to him and will very much aid Father in winding up his concerns - evident to Mr Finch that Father no motive for persevering in business. May leave England in 2 months - hope to be in Derbyshire in fortnight. Has not yet written to William.
25 June - still waiting for detailed talk with Mr M [Morewood] - had letter from Lieutenant Colonel Wilson late Major of 48th about Ensign Barker's gallant death in the breach.
