Title
22 August 1809
John Longsdon at Boston [United States of America] to his brother James Longsdon, junior, saying that Boston is much what he expected, large, increasing, and quite in the English manner. He recounts his travels and says that America is no use in the Longsdons' present concerns. There is no point in going round the Cape when crossing the Atlantic is thought a risk from the old beaten track from Manchester to Longsdon and Shaw Chapel. He hopes William remains in Manchester and is actively employed. He discusses the shooting near Boston.
