Thursday Friday June 5 th /46 1846 My dear sister

I have just time to tell you that we sail tomorrow & if you will write me in a few days so the to the post-office Cromarty to be left till called for I dare say I shall get it – we go round by Scotland & shall perhaps touch at the Orkney Isles.

Dr Dear Ben

I have sent the clothes (coat trousers & handkerchief) by the luggage train & you will have them very soon – what the devil I shall do without them when I come back I don’t know – but you are very welcome to them & also the hat.

I should have sent you the tops of the “patent leathers” (the soles are gone) but I could not cram them in the parcel. I hope you took Nell safely to Mrs. Browns & you told her all I wished you may go & see him sometimes. I have got in the bedding ling line a hammock a blanket & a rug & it is hung so a beam in very close proximity to coil of old rusty chain cable bales of oakum & a tar barrel with the bung out – the mode of life is – the cook walks in with a piece of salt beef in a tin dish each sailor cuts off what he likes with his own jack-knife puts it on a piece of biscuit & gnaws away cut off

all this is between ourselves & you can tell everybody that I have spacious “apartments” remember me to Bob or Thompson & let me hear from you at Cromarty.

Your affection affectionate brother Tho Thomas Mulock

I have been down the shore about six or seven miles & I send sister a description to work up in one of her tales – rocks about twice as high as those of Ramsgate of red & white sandstone with numbers of small caverns & detached pieces of rock about the size of moderate rooms lying everywhere about – fisher gi with very short petticoats & bare legs gatherin limpets – singing as the very top of their shrill voices & occasionally stopping to bawl out to a passer-by “Canny mon winna ye gie us a yaaapenny” (halfpenny)

Thomas Mulock Jr. wrote one letter to his sister and one to his brother on opposite sides of the same page. In the postscript of Tom's letter to Ben, there is a piece torn out of the paper. Consequentially, a few words are missing from this paragraph. These letters are accompanied by one envelope, addressed to Miss Mulock.
