| Title | 16 October 1811
John Longsdon to father. Sorry quotation from William's letter about patterns for Willson upset him; wrote to William under strain of moment; writer's feelings for father never waiver. Thinks it likely he may introduce father's goods to Puckle & Co on Mr William's getting the patterns.
Received mother's letter and hamper and much obliged to her and James and thanks Mr Barker for his hare.
Agree 7/8 shirtings must be curtailed. Habgoods doing utmost to sell shirtings. Pleased about James & Co.
Profit on stock taking small, but considering amount of business, reasonable.
Will see to insurance - £800 should be covered for 6 months - will call on printer of father's paper and ask him if he means to improve on type. Tomorrow will send William £198. |
