Title	Father to John Longsdon at Morewood and Forsyth condoling with him for poor John Barker - no feelings at Bubnell so poignant as John's. Pleased John concurs in propriety of Finch journeying etc. Will set out on Sunday morning on Nelson Coach and sleep that night at Leicester. Expect him Tuesday. Glad John can accommodate him - opportunity of every conversation augurs favourably for business - season for planning. John's hints to Manchester of forwarding goods already put in execution - but cannot be too cautious in interfering with Habgood's connections - writer has not hinted to Finch of John's proposals of 18th for giving up concern. Surely they can strike out something to employ William, Mr Finch's family, without disadvantage in their present situations - more creditable than giving up whole concern. Writer has not misunderstood his meaning to do everything for writer's honour, care and comfort. Be assured that John is most dear to writer's heart. If business can be carried on with good grounds of success much consolation to writer, but do not mean to persevere in it to destruction of family.
