Title	29 April 1809 Messrs Thomas and George Gardom at Bubnell, near Bakewell, to Mr John Longsdon [their nephew] at Messrs Forsyth, Smith and Co, Halifax, Nova Scotia, by packet from London inclosing an invoice of 19 April 1809 of 100 dozen of cotton hosiery at £192.10s which they hope are going to a favourable market. John can either take these goods on his own account at the amount of the invoice, cash in 9 months, or sell them on Gardom's accounts, in which case they doubt not that he will part with them only to safe and good hands, but also advance the price as much as the market will allow. The Gardoms have also sent John an invoice by The Felicity, Captain Thompson, bound for Halifax by which vessel the goods were also shipped. They have paid freight and insurance at Liverpool. The present cost of manufacture would be much higher. They send their best wishes for good success and safe return. Subscribed "We are, Dear Sir, Yours sincerely and affectionately". Postcript asking for the earliest information about Commerce.
