Content Description

He was on a trip through South Wales when he received correspondence occasioning an immediate volte face to London. His application on behalf of his nephew, James Moor, was successful, and the young man now has a commission in the Marine Corps. After properly equipping him at Woolwich he left for Exeter, regretting only his inability to visit Humphry.

Of course, he was mortified at not being able to help Mr. Daniell and his friends, Mr. Abbott was on hand though. He was very gratified at Mr. Harman's delight at his opinion. His acquaintance with Humphry of more than 30 years means that he hopes Humphry can write about anything at any time.
