Tuesday, June 5th
Took a very long walk and found myself much better. Mr Dunn called to know if I had any command to London as he was going there, we learnt by advertisement in the Times paper the Mariner is to be Down on Sunday next, this day the ship Lousitania sailed from Gravesend.
Wednesday June 6th.
I think this will now complete my twelve months in England as we landed at Portsmouth on the 21st of June 1820 I am very much afraid we shall not sail from that place before this day received letter from Mr Atkinson requesting me to come up to London to put my cabin in order accordingly Mr Thomson and I set off at 20 minutes to one o’clock and arrived at the Dundee Arms at ¼ to 5 o’clock we immediately went on board the Mariner when it came on to rain very hard and every one had done work on board for the day we could not do anything that afternoon after the shower we walked to Mr Atkinson where they very kindly met me and I slept there all night Mr Thompson going to his lodgings, received a letter from Celia from Manchester [indecipherable] very well.
