John Longsdon to Father. Sorry so agitated - will soon blow over and arrival of good goods be attended by good sales. Draw on Roberts and Habgood at 2 or 3 months on receiving account sales on which must pay common commission of 5% instead of 3½. In short time writer can make a better arrangement for him by taking bills drawn by Habgood and Co on houses to whom sell at date stipulated between them which will often be 4 months. Were dates shorter writer would enter now on this plan and allow 4% commission which he has agreed with Evans - additional security at 1% less commision.
Sales in hand for bad things - shall take care to hand him sufficient amount to draw £500 on 26th next - but he ought to pay what he can in 3 months bills.
Finch says all shirtings old widths.
160 shirtings and 15 ducks (175 pieces) already sold - rest to be sold for first four offer - monthly account sales will not be less than £600. |
