Summary:
JDH informs his wife Frances Hooker, that he has arrived at Tangier having taken a slow boat, the 'Lady Havelock', from Mogadore [Essaouira]. He now hopes to transfer to a China passenger ship bound for London, called the 'Burmah', which will provide a faster passage. [Edward] Crump will complete the journey to England on the 'Lady Havelock' with the luggage.
