GM [George Morewood] in great domestic happiness but critical situation of Mr Morewood and dreadful situation at all Foreign countries with which their business should be supported are enough to damp spirits of anyone - Barker made quite happy by copy letter from Secretary at War Office to Lord Fitzroy saying that G and Co has ordered his name to be entered for an ensigncy in Lord Fitzroy's Regiment (48th Foot) now in Portugal where Barker must join them when he gets his commission. Writer admires his leaving the church if not thinking a man one bit better for being a parson and not liking the profession. Mr Cavendish son of Lord G C has got him this commission and it will only cost him the regular fee at the Offices - £5. W Whateley's affairs desperate and wife not well - improves but still with doctor at Isleworth. The Doctor good friend to WW and a good man if there are any good ones. Randolf Carteell well.
