Title	7 Sep 1814 London. William Longsdon to James Longsdon acknowledging receipt of £25 to his credit. Gargol season seems to have been bad amongst cows and disappointment in selling mal à propos. Anxious to know if Father can meet all expenses without sinking capital; his balance with M&F is circa £30. If they could once establish that farm yielded an income sufficient to cover his expenses and left a small surplus - even if only £5, they would feel easy. Realise capacity in the land to do much more but their present wish has very moderate bounds. Commercial world anxious about negotiations at Ghent. If amicable close, better chance for John to find more active and lucrative employment. Meanwhile only patience. Hopes Hamburg trade will recompense for disappointment caused by plague in Malta. Understand from Father that settling affairs with Mr Bossley; fearful of slow progress.
