| Title | 21 October 1812 William Longsdon to Mother - Letter of 27 Sept with letters for Malta, on board ship Ocean next day: no favourable chance of writing to John since but suggests best to let William have letters as soon as ready and he will take first chance. If wait to hear of opportunities, obstacles may cause disappointments. No letters yet, probably first will be from Malta. Letter of 13 accompanied by basket of game, 2 days longer on road than usual. |
