Title
7 June 1817
John Longsdon at London to James Longsdon, junior, headed `Rutland'. Received letter of 3rd, drew up statement and waited on Mr Abercrombie who said would give all information he could but feared it would be unsatisfactory. All applications of this kind put into hands of resident agent at Chatsworth and new agent about to be appointed. Farm in question might be disposed of in conjunction with some arrangements now pending in that neighbourhood and not let as before. If let as before, so many strong applications that only just way would be to give it to 1st applicant. Agreed James was probably 1st applicant as Father's application on James' behalf, simultaneous with Mr Needham's resignation. Returned home. Told to ascertain date of 1st application and then return memorandum - which he would transmit to Chatsworth. Farm not disposed of until October at any rate, that he would be at Chatsworth. James should call on him there.
Applied to Mr A for James' appointment to Deputation with Father's understood consent - replied know nothing of game. Duke himself looks after those things but advised making memorandum of application and transmitting it. Mr A gentleman - styled Hon Mr A in Law Directory.
