Title	18 August 1813 Venus, Stonegate Creek. John Longsdon to James. Thanks for letter of 5th of this month. Hopes present grazing season will justify expectations. With good hay and pastures well covered with grass expects to see him keep some good cattle until Christmas. Will not want to leave anything unsettled in his power to arrange regarding affairs of late Manchester firm. Most anxious now to see Mr Finch manages well as any failure on his part would be very bad indeed. Reliance on his abilities not very great. Mr M's departure this week will deprive writer of pleasure of accompanying him. May return before writer leaves; remain until about 30th. Looks forward to spending some time with James. If good year for partridges should have sport. 5 years since John killed a brace. Relies on him for furnishing guns, dogs, etc - writer has none and cannot afford to buy. Messages to Gardam and refer to his office of Executor to their late Uncle seems to be no pleasant one.
