Title	14 May 1811 John Longsdon to Father. Bill business will soon be arranged to his satisfaction. Bale of 65 pieces which William wished to be pushed off owing to inferior quality arrived while he was at Habgoods and sold them altogether for 12¼. Gd Cotton Ducks will meet regular sale at 12d and if they can be made any lower than shirtings they may answer. Remembers Mr F. [Finch] calculating them to cost nearly 1d per yd more. Not happy about division of shirtings - when sales are heavy which must happen will be mixed altogether in any Commission House in London and sold in that manner. Let it have fair trial. How do his pastures look and how far are his Lancaster cattle seem likely to do well?
