| Title | Eyam. Thomas Bird to James Longsdon Esq, Little Longsdon. As it is uncertain whether writer will meet him today at Bakewell, taking this in pocket to put into Office or give to Rook. Encloses copy of his late cousin's will which he wanted. Talked of intention of selling his share in Longsdon Edge Mine. If still so disposed, writer would purchase it. As the Christmas reckoning was closed some time since, might be as well to settle business before much more work done. Must dispose of Stanton Lees estate immediately as money needed to pay off debts is considerable. 21 Feb 1811 |
