Title
28 February 1811
London. John Longsdon to Father by James Harrison. Drafts to order of Greaves and Hill have been advised as well as others from Manchester on Habgood Evans and Browne amounting to £396.9s and one on E Roberts and Co £226.19s
Debts must be much diminished by these drafts. Writer advises keep drawing on receiving account sales from Habgood or Roberts at 2 months date as interest of money can never be lost and he by this means materially reduces his risk. Indeed think him likely to want all his funds this spring as fast as he can draw if he concurs with writer in letting William take a room in Manchester to spin his own twist and weft.
1 March - congratulations on wedding anniversary. Mr Bickers wished to return 14 pieces shirting sent to him without order - offered to take back any in hand which cannot see - 50 pieces which writer has forwarded to Roberts ... at £82.8s 3d Little loss and feel Mr Bickers will yet become a good customer - wish him to have full confidence in them.
