Title	13 November 1812 Malta. Extract from John to William - much touched by William's letters conveying news from Clapton. Acted exactly as John could have wished and mistaken him in nothing. Now appears that proposal John made is decidedly unpleasant to Mrs Mackmurdo. that Isabella feels no interest in or had even any knowledge of it and that the general desire is that the subject should be no more mentioned. Know that Mrs Mackmurdo acts only for best. John acted from purest of principles and conviction that Isabella had a moderate guarantee for what comforts people generally look for. Told Robert Mackmurdo evening writer left London that writer had great hopes of his continuance in Malta for a few years would not be any insurmountable objection to Mr and Mrs M more especially if they should learn Mr and Mrs Morewood approved of and their family enjoyed good health in the island. Writer trusted the objection would then cease. Writer has never had chance to explain to William before - thought Miss Mackmurdo possessed ever good quality requisite for a wife. While Barker living great part of attention and as much affection and friendship as anyone is capable of devoted to him - At his death looked for an object in whose society finest feelings would rally. Respects to family. Remembrances to Miss M - does not matter how disclosure writer committed to her was received at Longsdon. Not yet engaged an Italian master but making enquiries. Extract from letter sent by William Longsdon to Mother on 26 February putting her in picture. Thinks Father should write to John on this subject.
