Title	23 March 1809 John Longsdon at Manchester to his father, James Longsdon, senior, saying that he is busy stocktaking, but delayed by Mr Brideoakes' small accounts. Mr Brideoake is willing to release William to replace John in his absence, because he intends doing less by commission and for sale during the high price of cotton. So the disposal of William is up to his father. John advises careful consideration of the present main channel of trade and the great influx of contenders many very able and monied. William should hold a situation most likely to qualify him to act with confidence on principles which the leading houses have adopted. John does not see that if a man starts as a manufacturer, he must never change. He still thinks William should not be placed at Longsdon [Longstone].
