| Title | Father to John Longsdon: just returned from warehouse |
| Description | Finch going to Manchester to take stock. Pleased with John's intention of corresponding more directly with him and hope it will have effect desired. Notes remarks on late cotton purchase; wishes William to be amply impressed with necessity of buying very best quality in present state of manufacturing connections.
Old shirtings in great measure dropped - what John has substituted he thinks more likely to meet present demand, hopes will succeed, but change of Weavers, new reed etc he must calculate as loss; does not mean to throw cold water on it. Approves and feels much satisfaction in John's plan of getting a set of respectable customers.
Worried about John's health. Mr George Morewood gone to Liverpool. Thanks for Courier; favourable report of conciliation in America will help present dull market. Last report of Cotton from Lancashire very dull. Has John heard anything from William of a dividend in Mr P. Longsdon's affairs? Disappointed that nothing heard yet. Said that Ward's commission would be superseded. 14 March. |
