Title	22 January 1808 James Longsdon at Longsdon [Longstone] to his son, John, [hand betraying emotion] thanking him for a comforting letter. John's sentiments are balm to his soul. Mr Finch [James Longsdon's manager in his cotton enterprise] now sees the error of his too great credulity. James only sent him to Liverpool to see for himself the situation of H and H. It is extraordinary that he did not make any enquiry when in the very place they resided. He knows Barnsley who was in partnership with Sam Hope, a near relative of Peter Hope. Times have greatly declined since some thought them at their worst. Mother and he are vexed that James junior did not take his great coat. Surely he can borrow one. In this bad weather they are anxious for John's brothers at Manchester.
