P Longsdon at Manchester to James Longsdon, junior at Longsdon Received letter this morning by Hully which prevents writer writing with £50 bill that he had for James. Shall keep it until beginning April when James says he needs it; will then try to make it £100. Without great change little chance of fishing in middle or end of next month. Hully says new fishing regulations make it necessary to have a ticket - must get James to do the needful and inform writer of the particulars. Have sent the cow by Hull. Do with her what James thinks best. Hay much cheaper with James than there. In hopes of good trade this year and hopes James will find farming to his good - and new concern will prove a good one. 16 Mar 1818
