Title	26 October 1810 William Longsdon at Liverpool to his father, James Longsdon, senior, at Longstone, acknowledging his letter of 24 of this month. He anticipated what his father had to say about Hope but did not think himself sufficiently authorised to call on him. William lost no time this morning in calling at Hope's office which was shut. He was told by the adjoining office that Hope had not been there for two months, but that he still lived at this old home at Everton. William went there and found the doors locked. After some time a woman said from an upstairs window that he was not at home, and that by calling at 7 o'clock William might see him or get an answer. He was avoiding bailiffs. William will call. Addendum. William has just returned from PH [Mr Hope] who behaved curtly and spoke freely about Prince Edward Island. Hope is doing a good deal on the land. He speaks favourably but William advises his father not to rely on what he says. He advises him to send Finch. Hope's debts do not exceed £1,200. He is determined to settle with his creditors soon but there is a commission out against him. He has a scheme for setting up a company in Prince Edward Island.
