Title
14 May 1817
John Longsdon to James Longsdon. Received with pleasure his letter from Garstang. Glad AL behaved to James in friendly manner and rendered some financial assistance.
Draft £20 shall be duly paid.
By 2 letters from home learns James bought nice lot of cattle, but has not heard how many.
Hope nothing prevents visit next month.
If James has funds in hand to remit writer in time to meet maturity of James' bill £40 due 21 June or any material part of it, should be glad of it - if not convenient do not feel any uneasiness.
Weather now very fine and warm after moderate rain; reflect with satisfaction on advantages James' neighbourhood must derive from this change. Expects due consequence lower prices corn and bread.
Nothing very particular regarding William's affairs.
Postscript Flour advanced (to surprise) 3/- per sack.
