Title | 1 September 1810 - James Longsdon, senior, at Longsdon [Longstone] to his son, John Longsdon, at London, acknowledging £50 bank note |
Date | 1 Sep 1810 |
Description | He is sorry to hear of W Whateley. It is a fine day, first of the partridge shooting, and he is set in the house. James [junior] and John Barker are shooting. Finch sold 50 pieces of card to J and B Marshall and has bought cotton. Two young Marshalls are very active and doing well, one in America. They had the best and much the largest lots of cotton in their warehouse that James saw when in Manchester. Ormrod is to forward a pack to Bickers today, and James has particularly requested Mr Finch to attend to the quality. James encloses statement of account with Thomas Ward and rejoices to hear what his father has done for him. He cannot help thinking of the swindling attempt of vile Barnsley who he has heard behaved ill and arrogantly to Mr W [? Whateley]. |
