Title	John Longsdon, Manchester to James Longsdon
Date	8 Feb 1819
Description	Writer came home late this evening to find Hulley brought him James' kind letter of Sunday's date and a Pointer. Obliged by exertion made to save writer by no means sorry the Pointer is come. Of course James will pay their Uncle £15 at Ladyday as agreed. This morning 2 of their first Houses in business and opulence offered writer their agency in America, wished writer to adopt measures for undertaking it which in addition to what he had to do made him too busy. Perhaps Captain Willis may give writer another day, writer may say this day for now past midnight. Expecting to see Hulley tomorrow evening, Tuesday evening - letter from Thomas Luckson informing writer he must be in Liverpool tomorrow morning going over by an early coach. Delay of few hours has been useful to writer, he thinks business one of their new correspondents has given him will pay his expenses to Charleston to begin with. Their friends here have all behaved extremely well to writer and his departure is as pleasant as possible, Writer likes the pointer George has brought - now has a beautiful Brace - one a black dog sent him by Mr Newall (father of Miss Newall) of a capital breed about a year old. Writer had a young setter by George which they may as well keep for him at Little Longsdon if it offers pretty well. If it shows no signs of hunting it may be given away. Young Sandman 3 years old today turned out about 13 to all appearances. Mr Rothwell cannot go with writer to Liverpool. Debit writer £1.1s 0d for parts and credit him 28/- for one whole piece of muslin and something for tea - say 2 lb at 7/- 1lb at 8. 8 lbs 23/-
