Rev. A. Brandram
Falmouth 24th February 1827
My Dear Mr. Brandram
On the evening of the 22nd Mrs Thomson & myself arrived here in health & comfort. The signal gun is fired, and in about an hour hence (at noon), we set sail, the wind fair, the weather delightful, and the Lord smiling on us in body & mind. We go rejoicing in the blessed work to which we are called. I have only time to say that we count on the prayers of our dear friends in Earl Street.
I remain,
My Dear Sir
Most Truly Yours
James Thomson.
Mr Tarn's letter to Mr. Fox is just arrived.
