Title	15 March 1809 John Longsdon at Manchester to his father, James Longsdon, senior, suggesting that William should carry on in Manchester weaving goods which cannot be made in Longstone. He does not recommend William manufacturing goods in Yorkshire as he himself has done as the expenses are too heavy for the profits, especially the expense of giving an agent, John Haigh, commission for doing business their own man should do. There is no difficulty in getting a set of good weavers. If the weft is spun in Monsaldale the carriage to Manchester is trifling. A Yorkshire carrier from Manchester will deliver goods to Rippendon, 3 miles below J Haigh.
