Title
3 March 1812
Father to John Longsdon. Warned by William's letter about John's health and frequent headaches. Mother thinks writer should not mention it to Mr M [Morewood] as John will be free to come to them when John thinks best and writer thinks warmer weather may be better for John. Looking forward to seeing John kill a fish with the Drake.
5 March. Letter from William regarding purchase of 14 bags of cotton at 16¾d - William too precipitate. Last he bought was bad in quality which is worse than price being too high. No calculating harm a single bad bag can do in a manufactory situated as theirs. Surprised at John writing to William in a strong manner, not so much as a hint in writer's correspondence. Mr M [Morewood], writer see no signs of advance but rather contrary and share strong apprehension of an American War. Details of accounts with J Becker & Habgoods. Bill drawn by Finch on 13 of last month on Alcock for £45.7s at 3 months.
