Title	John Longsdon to Father
Date	16 May 1811
Description	Writer upset by effects of WM's [William Morewoods ?] purchase of 4 bales of inferior cotton on Father's mind and can only conclude that united efforts of greater part of his family to make him happy are rendered ineffective and are found to be too weak to be opposed to little misfortune of 4 bales of cotton having been bought of something too inferior a quality. Writer's reaction may surprise him but that after treating all efforts to make him happy and put business on sound footing he should see from simple and very common error whole system deranged, his mind disturbed as have often seen, Mr F [Finch] sent off to Manchester evidently to neglect of what ought to be attended to at his proper situation and merely do nothing which requires such measures.
