Title	Father to John - not well enough to go to Manchester - welcome letter of 22. What he says of money matters is not cheering. Will give Miss Morewood £30 immediately and hope to arrange matters with Messrs Jones to give GM [George Morewood] balance as he proposes and very liberal of Mr M - truly sensible of obligation. From times and circumstances think it prudent to curtail in some measure manufacture. Will produce better goods, far too much hurry in Mr F's department. Not despairing of business but what times demand. Finch to Manchester yesterday to William to whom wrote corroborating arrangements for journey to Town. Not yet acquainted with June sales but aware cannot be large. Fear him too sanguine about July because of badness of times. Sold upwards of £100 of cattle all which will be paid in less than a month. James' Yorkshire Chess will he fears turn out quite bad but his feeding stock more promising than they were. His Mother has told Mrs Barker about her habit. How does W W [Whately] do - he knows he receives Mrs Shaw's dividend for money she has in the Funds on writer's recommendation - Inquire if not be proper to work on alteration. Wish Mr W could inform writer of exact annual amount of Land Tax he got redeemed for him. There is a mistake between him and Town of 3-4% which cannot yet be cleared up. Finch to return to Monyash on Thursday where he must send the necessary to meet him - spoken as strongly as he can on telling William that Mr Bicker's order should be executed to his satisfaction and that John should have clear information about everything by William. The first pieces for Mr B came in last week and Finch says he has put 6 reeds out.
