More to be sent today. Expecting letter daily in consequence of what he said in his letter to his mother received yesterday. Mother at Bubnell. Took her his letter, found her much better. A dance Carterills gave brought on his mother a crowd of youngsters when she was not well and worry greatly increased by Miss H N (? Harriet Needham - queer old girl). Both parents feeling much better. Writer torments "Oh that I was but seconded by your brother in the Farming concerns as he ought and oh that he could be made truly sensible of the sentiments of my heart towards him and shew activity necessary for my assistance and his advantage". Haven't quarrelled. When was at Manchester found more money due than expected. No doubt of his utmost exertions for remedy. About to draw all Roberts. Will shortly want £700 or £800 to buy in cattle - fund provided for it has been impinged on by untoward circumstances but this he does not fear weathering if shirtings can be disposed of to safe and solid houses. Had they not better contract a little? William writes very strongly about taking a room at Manchester for spinning all their own weft. Advised him to use every exertion to find best place but not to fully conclude a bargain.
