Title	29 December London. John Longsdon to father. Mr G Morewood means to mention necessity for journey by John to Heligoland, actual danger not so much an objection as unpleasant season of year. Should go and return by Packet as before. Will send William circa £200 on Monday when Habgood and Co willing to give writer £500 - hopes will see them into times when solid property can be converted into money. Still expects an advance in January in price of goods but Manchester people in very low spirits, not doing any business there. Would continue present system for a month and then see what sort of a lookout they have. Smithfield market kept up advanced prices for beef and mutton. Would like to know how father's grazing affairs progress but know not how to find it out. Father could have drawn £150 on George Morewood with perfect propriety but do as he thinks proper.
