| Title | 26 July 1810
John Longsdon in London to his father, James Longsdon, senior, at Longstone. He has unsuccessfully tried Wild and Dalton's agent with this dishonoured bill for £61-10s. The half promise to pay in five days was made in error in the absence of the agent who has heard nothing from his employers. James will get the best information in Manchester. John wishes that the report to William of a prospect of eventual payment were true. The worst settlement expected is 1s in the pound.
The state of the City is a little better but much derangement still felt. Markets in Liverpool and Manchester both suffer. |
