| Title | Mother to John Longsdon - Just back from week in Alport - unexpected pleasure of his letter. Mr M [Morewood] returns to London tomorrow. Hope and pray his situation continues pleasant although this change has taken place. Thankful and happy with everything about her - when she sees his Father tranquil and easy - when he makes himself otherwise more than his spirits can struggle with. John may think she has been too serious in her first letter but such a thought was brought on by the hurry he put himself into concerning John's brother William but have not heard a complaint of the kind since the letter he received from her on the subject. Wishes to see him happy - earnestly desires to make him so - know it to be that of his Children also. Expecting William Hope father will fish.
