To:
Smith, Sir James Edward
Summary:
Looking forward to visit by Smith and his cousins; Napoleon's abdication was not known of when Smith sent last letter. [William] Webb still undecided whether to take vacant preferment [parsonage and rectory of Fornham, Suffolk], Cullum has advised to wait for mastership of the college [Clare Hall, Cambridge]. Smith's visit to Bury will be quiet with everyone away at either the Commencement at Cambridge or the Ipswich Races and the presentation of plate to the "gallant" Sir [Philip Bowes Vere] Broke [(1776-1841), whilst commanding the HMS Shannon he captured the USS Chesapeake on 1 June 1813, during the War of 1812].
