Title17 October 1813
London. William Longsdon to mother. Thanks for letter of 11 last. For tongue which accompanied last hamper of game. John tells writer game is very scarce. Does not expect anymore but further tongue would be very welcome.
James doubtless busier than ever before and he used to make some bustle occasionally. In arrangements just agreed on, see nothing but what is likely to increase satisfaction of all parties. Mother relieved from deal of anxious trouble. Father gratification in witnessing son's industry and James placed in situation which age and disposition seemed to require.
Shirt and handkerchief fit well - few others acceptable for Christmas if muslin admits handkerchiefs being cut a little larger, so much better.
