Title	Father to John Longsdon
Date	2 May 1811
Description	Saw GM [George Morewood] yesterday for first time since brother's death - sorry to say William's memory bad - forgets to send John lengths of parcel of goods he forwarded with lengths and had John noticed it. Expect William on Wednesday. So keen on fishing wants writer to send a rod to meet him in Monsaldale - will soon find he has many other necessary requisites. Weavers have worked hard against Whit Sunday. This week will be upwards of 106 pieces. Last month's sales by Habgoods exceeded writer's expectations. Thinks they shall get in regular plan and understanding with Messrs Jones about bills - they want bills to be sent to Manchester rather than John to put them into their hands in London. Much approve John's plans for getting rest of goods to Houses in Home Trade - if this can be solidly regularly establishment managed by John, William and F [Finch] without writer's interference would be consolation to his evening days. GM conversation on trade yesterday - agreed no prospects of doing anything either to advantage or safety unless a little in the Home Trade; looks on John as the keystone - by carefully laying solid foundation on moderate scale. Admires John Barker going against "Vile and Bloody Tyrant". Copy Habgoods sales on 15 ducks at only 10½ and 5% commission. Just heard twist and weft have dropped considerably.
