Title19 September 1827
George Morewood, London to William Longsdon, care of Shuttleworth, Manchester. Sorry to hear having so much trouble with brother's executors - disposed to judge Mr Naylor harshly - but encouraged by other executor's determination to assert equal rights with him. Hopes they will do all that in reason and justice ought to keep old estate in family. Will write to Mr John Gardam if any help.
Will put William's letter with his brother's bond so that shall have his instructions if occasion arise for bond's surrender. Is Mr Smithers from account of his peculiar situation a proper person to be engaged in purchase of land - remember awkward circumstances that attended friendly attempt of William's late brother to improve property at Thornbridge.
Sorry for Mrs Barker - so poorly.
Their boys delighted with the visit to the Peak. Mrs M indeed very kind and indulgent - went home in ignorance of former unpleasantness between Mrs M and their Aunt Helen and him.
Believe all well at Islington - now a resident at the Brewery the usual resident partner Mr Woodbridge being on tour to France and other acting partner Mr Everest being sick. Mr Hoare comes daily from Mitcham to seek that Brewery stands in same place.
