TitleLondon. William Longsdon to Mother - John could not write direct to Longsdon because party turned on board at moment's notice to sail for Port Mahon. Very next day another letter saying wrote to Father on 10 Oct. Pleasant company on voyage. If alone would have changed ships but Mrs M could not. Health much better.
Failure of John Bickers & Co last week. Hope they shall eventually escape serious loss, even that uncertain. Writer would be happier when rid of connection with Trade.
Found more economical lodgings with a French family - learning French and Italian and saving £40 per annum - writer will have saved cost of her journey by next Spring.
Statement of account November sales 1812 with Habgood E & B.
