"A NEW COMMISSION" (part one) A New Commission!!.....1st of December 1804! I had taken up lodgings in my old haunt of the Pirate Inn, it was a Guinea per week, for a room that was both squalid and noisy. My view of the sea was non-existent, my sleep even more so!...however, with my marriage to Rosie over, there was no alternative, other than to rough it here until the next coach and four, this was due today Tuesday at 1100. I had had plenty of time to think things over !! (Part two will follow)
