Title	Ralph Finch at Manchester to James Longsdon, senior, at Longsdon [Longstone] near Bakewell
Date	27 Dec 1809
Description	He finds trade in Manchester brisk as expected. He has received a dividend of 8's in the £ from the estate of Hargreaves and Goodwin amounting in aggregate to £83. 13s 3d. Mr Green the acting assignee, said there would be a little more. The goods sent by boat only arrived today. He sold the velveteens principally to M Longsdon and Co, particulars annexed [totalling £94. 15s. 6d]. James' son [William] had promised 60 or 70 pieces of shirtings from the consignment to be delivered tomorrow to James' brother Matthew at 11½d per yard. Messrs Potters are to have the remainder. Finch has seen Mr Ditchfield and promised him a small lot tomorrow fortnight at 12d per yard. James' brother, Peter, wants to engage all they make for 3 months but Finch does not think they should accept his offer. Twist is worse to be bought. Cottons are 2d per 1b higher than last Tuesday. Men are now asking 21½d per 1b for Bond. Finch has not bought any and does not mean to. He bought pretty largely of good stout Twist at the old price. He rides tomorrow to look at 2 new mules on sale near Wigan, then to his parents, then on his ride home will call at [?Brother Williams] to see his daughter, Ann. He will be home next Saturday or Sunday. He sold J & J Cottingham £8. 5s 11d worth. William Longsdon sold £82. 2 s 9d worth of velveteens.
