Title	13 July 1848 [?MP] J B S[mith] at 105 Westbourne Terrace, Hyde Park, London to `Dear Longsdon', writer has removed from lodgings to his own house. Mrs S and children went from Vicar's field to Mrs Holts at Liverpool where children are now but Mrs S came here on Monday to set things straight. Hopes to leave this for Liverpool on 22nd and after that time prepared to visit him whenever convenient. Best way of getting to his house would be to take a chaise on their arrival at Manchester from Liverpool and proceed at once to Longstone - recommended to Mrs S. Desirous of having Dr Gully of Malvern's opinion of Minna and therefore from his house Mrs S and children will proceed to Malvern and probably stay week or two. They must give up Edensor. Writer should like very much to contrive meeting for few days at Longstone and then accompany them to Malvern. Shall endeavour so to arrange matters and have long talk with him. Long speeches in parliament are tiring out all parties. On Monday Lord George Bentinck gave them a speech 4¼ hours long - the pith of the subject might have been given in 15 minutes! William has glorious weather for hay and crops if it be like theirs. Things both political and commercial looking better. No such ferocious insurrection that writer remembers recorded in history as that at Paris. There is only 1 course to pursue with such a set of rascals and that writer is glad to see the Government are at length taking. Expects to see trade slowly but gradually improve and writer hopes they are on the eve of happier times for all classes. The Magdalen was sent to Gardams to William's order.
