London. John Longsdon to James Longsdon Thanks for writing, sorry for expense of letter about game unless James can get a basket of game. Regrets with James the ill success of farming this year but convinced that no great difficulties in front of him and success to guarantee comfort beyond doubt. Expense of journey thus of less moment. Begs James to set mind at rest and come - cheapest route by Chesterfield - cost £15 if he is 14 days in London - But come for 3 weeks if he can. Most convenient arrival for William and writer about 20 Dec. - little business then and for a few days in New Year, holidays is common in the City. Mr Forsyth obliged by attendance to game; a brace of hares would do. Remittance of 12th entered to James' credit. Mr M has told writer already that a little money shall be at James' service again in Spring. Always speaks of James in friendly manner. 13 Nov 1814
