Title28 Feb 1814
London. John Longsdon to Mother; all well. Bessy with Morewoods. Time for James' removal near at hand - hopes prospect not any less pleasing. Their advices from James' landlord much overdue - afraid Packet must be taken. No news from Malta since heard of cessation of plague but no doubt of Mr WHM being pleased with disposition of his old habitation.
As told Mother when left home, expects to remain in London the winter, perhaps spring - and if in spring or summer opportunity offers will go to Continent. William and writer agree must have some sort of establishment abroad to act as agents. Whilst writer turns attention towards final accomplishment of such object William gaining regular useful knowledge. Trip to Continent not to remain there but become acquainted with new markets and more extensive connections.
