Title	29 January 1811 Ralph Finch, Manchester, to John Longsdon, Longsdon near Bakewell. Father, self did `write' in running off yesterday before his return from Chesterfield to examine the most unfortunate and disagreeable business. Robbery not so bad as expected. On looking over stock 12 pieces Fustian missing (cards, velveteens) amounting to £54.6s prime cost. Broke open after watchman had left his stand at 6 am. Taken particulars of missing pieces to Mr Nadin's Office. Has not been able to meet him yet. As he will have seen Mr P[eter?] Longsdon, needn't describe how they forced the doors. Has to see Mr Nadin and pursue enquiries, cannot be with him before next Thursday or Friday. If he stops Thursday over, needn't come next week. Has not had time to enquire into state of market. Some hopes of making a few sales before return. This morning 3 lines from his son John enclosing E. Roberts & Co sales of 153 pieces, and Mr T Ward's. He tells him he has stated to J Longsdon in a late letter. Should have gone to Youlgreave on Thursday - will he arrange with writer's son William about going.
