John Longsdon at London to Miss Bessy Longsdon at Longsdon. Will not apologise for long silence because writer's Irish excursion a capital plea; returned last Monday. Journey successful and health much improved.
Letters from William to 21 February. Business generally speaking not succeeded well this winter but many pleasant circumstances encourage him. Some very important news now on way - gentleman of first respectability and considerable property proposed to unite his interests with William's and prosecute American trade in partnership if after consultation desirable to both parties. Mr M thinks highly of it. If all goes well gentleman will embark in August next to meet William in New York and William may be able to visit him next spring. May tell parents, James and Kate but not beyond their family at present. News of London friends. |
