Title	15 August 1813 London. William Longsdon to Mother. Sending this by Mr M. - warned John - but do not expect news. Quarantine to continue until 11 September. Government perhaps over cautious but obviously compelled to take severe measures to avoid smallest risk of introducing plague. John should arrive when partridges have got a good size and enough corn cut not to impede a sportsman. James and John can try skill. James should have advantage in practice. Sorry Father did not touch his gun on 12th - first time omitted diversion of which has been for so many years not only an eminent but an honourable partaker. Wishes James will prove himself a successor. Glad her ring fitted well. Does not think she will regret not leaving Longsdon just now - hopes soon recompensed by having John to carry her out on horseback. Does not know when self can see her. Whately's family still unsettled. Remembrances to Uncle John Gardam and Cliff family - long stay at Scarborough must have improved health.
