Title
16 Aug 1815
London. William Longsdon to mother - Glad she is better. Does not know when he sails: vessel neap - tides don't rise to heights to permit leaving dock. Loading over 16 or 17 heads in cabin including 3 ladies, 1 female servant and 4 children. Amongst gentlemen Swede/Prussian/American and rest English.
Probably reach New York in 7 weeks after fairly under sail - 45 days good passage. Preparations finished. Matters still same at Newington Green. Miss Barrow waits on her sister.
Addendum for John. Think they will sail on Sunday - have pleasant passage. Thanks to father for very kind letter of 12 Jun - Baby Morewood not yet born - daughter this afternoon. Centurion out of dock.
