Title
19 July 1849
J B S[mith] to `Dear Longsdon'. Leaving on Thursday next for Derbyshire and thanks him to acquaint Mrs Bagshaw.
Congratulations on new dignity - more judicious choice impossible - will enable William to be useful in his neighbourhood. Saw lying in library of House of Commons yesterday a new publication called "Servis' Acts" a very useful little book for magistrates. Tell writer by return if William has it - if not shall do self pleasure of presenting it to new Magistrate.
Children delighted at idea of getting into country again. He and Mrs S[Smith] little less so. Writer has almost made up mind to go to the Peace Congress in Paris on 20 August. Is William inclined to another continental trip?
Mama and daughters send love to Uncle Longsdon and Cousin Emma.
Will send him their report on Turnpike Trusts.
