Title
14 July 1811
Finch to John Longsdon. Letter of 12th received - happy both with sales made and remittances sent especially in uncommon depression of trade particularly in general articles of calicoes. Bicker's order attended to by sending his order to R Ormerod with strongest injunctions not to neglect sending out all he can next Tuesday. Will do best to have calico shirtings stout and good but no care can quite avoid a few thin ones occasionally, even from best weavers. Bulk of pieces will weight in gray state 8½ lb to 8 lb 10 oz, cannot go heavier in these reeds for calico shirting. Glad to have so favourable account of 9/8. At price he mentions will pay extremely well. Hopes those to Messrs Alcock & Co will be equally approved.
Addendum from father - Hope to hear from him soon by return of his brother who says Peake and himself intend leaving Town in a few days - glad to hear - hope he enjoys all pleasures journey affords.
Will pay Miss M any money she will take. Hear J Barker is gazetted -Good Luck to him.
