| Title | Wednesday 6 March [1807] J Peake to James Longsdon at Longstone, thanking him for his hospitality on a recent visit to Longstone. The Market is dull as usual on the first Market Day in the month. A report mentions that several houses in New York [United States of America] have suspended payment. A considerable Yorkshire long established here stopped payment yesterday. They were the main factors of about 2000 pieces of calico weekly. |
