John Longsdon to Father - Letters of 3 and 4 received - Beresford's dear bought but glorious victory. People here think them now too strong and too accustomed to fighting the French to be done out of the Peninsula.
Let William and F [Finch], persevere and writer will give early intelligence whenever goods cannot be sold quickly and to advantage.
Glad his mind turning to repose - fishing account extremely pleasing as is father's accustomed success. Recommend William to fish near bank rather than throw a long line.
Glad his partners are so good - diverted with some Islington farmers who have spoiled about 200 acres of fine hay by cutting in rainy part of month - part still soaking. J Barker awaiting commission with impatience.
Compliments to Anthony and Peter and all the Drake fishers. |
