Title	John Longsdon at London to his father, James Longsdon, senior, at Longstone saying that he can hear nothing from Willson about the progress of Mathew Longsdon & Co. If they can get all the creditors to sign the Commission they may do well. The £50 due on Saturday was paid today, and the other £50 is due today. John has been for it. The bill was found and taken up without expense.
Date	3 Sep 1810
Description	John saw W Whateley but heard nothing of his difficulties. He is in better spirits but thinks business at a standstill. John has told Bickers that the last pack is on the road. He cannot renew the order yet but he will as soon as he has sold what he now has. George Morewood is in Islington. John hopes the partridge shooting is good and advises his father not to reply on James [Longsdon, junior] and Barket but to shoot a little himself. Postscript: John has heard from George Morewood about Whateley's situation. He is a partner with one Graves or Greaves who has stopped payment, and he is trying now to meet his private debts knowing that if there is any surplus remaining it will be attached to Graves' estate, and if there is still a deficiency Mr Patton will be involved. When Patton and Whateley separated Whateley put £10,000 with Graves, and also took up a West India commission which Patton and Whateley wished to shake off. West India House has failed. Whateley is completely ruined and has to start again from scratch.
