Title	15 November 1814 London. William Longsdon to Mother. Hoped to send letter by Lieutenant G Barker but left town without calling on them. Learns by letter from Longsdon that he is now about returning to vessel again. War with America still requires large naval force - Gib's ship one of those kept in commission. Hardly any earthly recompense for man who grows old in service. Regret Father's business with Mr Bossley still deferred. Weather grows wintry - need fires in evening and still dispenses with luxury in morning. Met Henry Wright of Cutthorpe at a dancing party; modest genteel looking young man. Commercial affairs brightening. Note from JL - happy about Mother's account of self and daughter.
