Title | Tuesday 29 April 1806 James Longsdon, senior, at The Spread Eagle, Hanging Ditch [?Manchester] to James Longsdon junior, at The King's Arms Inn, Lancaster, thanking him for his letter of the 27th from Settle, worried about his cold hanging on, chiefly from his appearance on his return from drill at Brosterfield [parish of Foolow], begging him to take care of himself. James comments on the cattle trade and a likely purchase from T Bates of Cheetham Hill [Manchester] a mile or two hence of cattle just come from Cumberland, bought mainly at Perth. The drover said the bullocks at Perth did not sell readily. There were many Irish there. |
