Title	Islington. John Longsdon to Mother
Date	10-12 May 1812
Description	Pleasure in parents' health and happiness - own loss of friend Barker: scheme for visiting them again delayed - now depends of Mr Morewood's arrangement. If he stays in Derbyshire till harvest writer should not like to come just then - the season would be not for writer to be much out of doors. Finch arrived and if he gets well away won't want to come to London again while writer is there. Wants to send Roses etc. into Derbyshire. Mr Barr, the nursery and seedsman, says it is much too late - they would have no advantage until next spring and probably all die - expect wonderful fine things in the fall of the year. Local gossip: neighbour will perhaps say writer looks it, but is not invalid. Has been somewhat unwell but now much better. 12 May - Shocked to hear of murder of Prime Minister.
