Title	17 June 1811 Father to John Longsdon. Lost voice by cold caught going to Chapel Fair on Thursday last. Read letter in bed - excellent antidote; - so even now after a hurrying day with Thos. Marten the butcher. No rational objection to his plan for brother coming to John for a week to improve himself and approve of it. 20 June - Letters from William - going to Manchester on Tuesday, health permitting. William and Finch do not perfectly understand each other about the making of articles John orders. To act in unison is soul of business - these both mean same thing. Reeds William ordered for John's shirting calicoes rather too narrow - reed maker no doubt to blame but William should have examined them before he sent them. Has long observed a rashness in William in making bargains which will not easily be diverted from. Highly approve having him with John as soon as can be made convenient. Will write as soon as can. News of bills. Finch said broad calico will stand to about 11½ yards and he is going on with them.
