Title	2 December 1810 John Longsdon at Islington [Middlesex] to his father, James Longsdon, senior, at Longstone, commenting on the gloomy aspect for men extensively engaged. He is not worried about the family business because their affairs are not widely spread and as long as nothing is attempted but common manufactures and those confined to articles of general Home consumption they cannot sustain any material loss. If things do get worse John reckons on regular profit. He will be home this day fortnight. John is glad that W Whateley has better prospects than he had imagined. Whateley says he has got through all his difficulties expect with Greaves, which must be the main one. John comments on bills. He expects Wyld and Dalton to make a divident soon. He is much obliged for the hamper of game and will not forget oysters. William says that he is busy just now but expects to be able to leave conveniently about the 18th. John encloses Hapgood's account of sales and Thomas Ward's account. The news from Portugal is better than feared.
