Title
London, John Longsdon to father
Date
15 Nov 1811
Description
Friend Mr Wissman visiting. No change in markets except for raw cotton which will probably remain at present value until measures adopted by American Congress known. Think it cannot decline much.
Advises drawing £150 on J Gell and will send next week something from Habgoods & Co for rest of this month's demands. Please tell William of this - by which imagines father will send his draft at three months on RGM to Manchester.
Sales - thinks goods must advance soon. No likelihood of being made so low as have been and stocks not very great. Any American demand would draw market for moment. Habgood & Co going on at 11d. Would rather hold than sell more if they can meet all demands. Caution William against selling in gray - leaves no profit. Mr Finch builds on very slight foundation. Pleased to see William enter into proper spirit of business. Finch right to put mules into good repair. Asks for oatmeal - often breakfasts on hasty pudding.
