| Title | 27 September 1810
John Longsdon at London to his mother, Elizabeth Longsdon at Longstone expressing his anger and sadness at the continued discord and misunderstandings between his father and his brother, James, who resemble each other too closely. James' heart is good and his father should make allowances.
John's recent journey was too hurried for him to call at home. He does not like rushed calls and would want to stay at least a week.
Mr Whateley is in better spirits and things look a little brighter.
John gives family news: the Doctor [a relative of his mother's] looks forward to her visit in spring. The Morewoods are all well at Islington as yet. |
