TitleLongsdon. Father to James Longsdon - Just received from John paper containing formal announcement to Lord Mayor of London of Convention for suspension of hostilities by sea and land between Great Britain and France by Lord Bathurst - no doubt Harbinger of Honourable Peace.
Intelligence came at critical time for Lancaster Fair - will have considerable effects - hopes he will take all advantages circumstances have left him.
Sent James by Mr Needham £260 which thinks likely to be enough - but if opportunity to lay out something further to apparent advantage take it and agree with Salthouse to send him a bill which writer can easily do on James' arrival at home. He must be sure to write by Monday Mail on account Chesterfield Fair.
