Title	London. John Longsdon to Mother
Date	15 Sep [?1814]
Description	Fine autumnal weather, air clear, cool and bracing. Hope no corn spoiled either by rain in fields or by leaving stacks uncovered on a Saturday night. No plans for writer. Mr M most kind. Father told William and writer that he would make his will - sorry he has not yet done so - surprised he can feel comfortable. This year would have completely ruined their business concern and much real estate must have made up deficiency. Retreat was much too late but further delay would have been dreadfully distressing. William and writer hope James will come for Christmas. Miss Barrow has finished drawing of House and sorry it cannot accompany Mr B tonight. She will soon see it - capital drawing. If likes it framed, she should have it framed at Manchester or Sheffield.
