Title	21 April 1813 William Longsdon to Mother. Writes with pleasure and grief with enclosure from John. Has been from arrival in Malta want of harmony between J and Mr W H M whenever duties in Counting House brought them together. J's conduct, it appears, has called only from Mr W H M a general and continued disapprobation - so much that John can no longer brook it - consequence immediate return to England. Known for some time but letters seemed to contain hope that all would yet go well. From firm resolution with which J set out to do duty can be no common causes so soon rendered futile those intentions. Wanted to spare unnecessary anxiety. Laments unfortunate necessity of J's step - trusts honourable character will still protect him in good opinion of even which favourable sentiments worth preserving. John always so kind to writer who is always ready to share his fortunes. Mr G Morewood as yet only expressed sorrow for what has happened. Likely John will be in England in another month and soon after in Derbyshire. Sent box by Waggon - ought to be at Chesterfield about 28 of this month. Enclosed 4 letters.
