Title20 August 1810
John Longsdon at London to his mother, Elizabeth Longsdon, at Longstone, regretting that she should have to bear patiently suffering which should be unknown to her. His father seems much agitated. Some of their friends are suffering badly from this pressure and claim their philanthropic regards. It is a salutary check on some. He is sorry that his mother and Kate have decided not to go sea-bathing and hopes they will visit him next spring. He is amused by the descriptions of GM's [George Morewood's] return from Derbyshire and William's expedition.
22 August. Addendum that he received a letter yesterday from William who seems satisfied. John is sorry that she is losing Mrs G Morewood as a neighbour, though she could not have seen them as often as she wished. John is sorry that the George Morewoods are leaving Islington for he will lose his only neighbour.
