John Hirvin at Lancaster to James Longsdon - should have been sooner at Longstone but lost a heifer which delayed writer 4 days. Found her in a wood very lame. Bought 10 Highland bullocks of Mr Whilley of Sprink Hill and 5 more, 1 good calving cow writer sold who calved on the road, the roads being very bad for 8 days and one of the 10 bullocks is very low. The frag of the fore feet very bad. Writer thinks he will sell it for it can't get up. Expects to come on Thursday if weather fine.
