Letter from John Cater, Portsmouth. After melancholy journey arrived: heart distracted by tortures. May you never feel what I felt yesterday. They must give us a passage in some ship or other, but winds contrary - might come to Town. Were I in the sea it would be great comfort. Had Miss Jackson been civil enough to tell me in what respect I intruded at Mrs. Cotton's and what objections she has to thinking of me with some degree of friendship!
