| Title | Sunday, La Valletta. W H M to John Longsdon. Fears he has delayed his letter for Mr M-d [Mackmurdo?] too long and shall be disappointed of seeing John and wishing them all health and happiness. Too occupied to write on subject of his communications and their effects. Conceive it duty - will send letter to Mr M-d which will do need put with it. Warm sentiments of gratitude for kind attentions to self and family especially on voyage - shall not easily forget them. May ever good accompany him and may he find his friends as he desires.
Looked over his accounts - best to balance it by the accompanying draft for £35 - on their friends first and second in case of John requiring it on the voyage. One year's salary from 1 August 1812 £150 which will bring him home without sinking money at least. Erroneously calculating £5 to be paid them as John's. It is writer's and writer will desire Messrs Morewood and Forsyth to pay sum to John. Have goodness to present them properly to all enquiring friends. May John's be everything he desires. Health and happiness attend him. |
