TitleWilliam Longsdon at Charleston to James Longsdon
Date18 May 1820
DescriptionPer Tamar via Liverpool. Last letter 28 March in answer to James' of 15 Feb. Encloses letter for uncle containing receipt for the £670 - equal document of conveyance not found.
Don't reckon on any money but if writer has £100 free in August he shall have it.
If James can find a well bred young pointer accustomed to sport for 2 guineas - or 3 if handsome might answer to buy one. Could get 50 dollars here for it.
Sold old "Nell" for 20 and she was too fat and idle to heed or hunt.
Fine weather now, somewhat warm which makes mosquitoes troublesome.
