  <dc:title>Letter: William Elphinston to Mrs. Thomas Gordon</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Letter from William Elphinston, Kingston, Jamaica to Mrs. Thomas Gordon, ‘Concert Closs’, Aberdeen, per. H.M. packet 'The Hillsborough', Captain Stewart. Acknowledges letter of 2 May received yesterday: reports her son to be in good health since arrival there on 3 June last and to have favourable prospects during what should not be too long a stay in the island. Claims on property there may take a considerable time to settle and could be dealt with satisfactorily in his absence.</dc:description>
