Title	30 January 1811 John Longsdon formally to firm, Habgood & Co. Advised of bill drawn for £50 and pack of shirtings on way. Bickers invoiced at £32.3.5. - can draw for this on 6-10 March. Advise put in employ all 20 reeds for the finer quantity of shirtings without loss of time; no fear of a ready sale through sping and summer and finances will be in quicker circulation as result of arrangement with Habgood to draw at 2 months allowing interest or 16/8 per cent immediately after account sales are rendered. Great deduction from risk with one house obviated. If they have stopped his fustian Linen and Buck weaving as agreed, take on weavers to make 150 pieces a week of shirtings in all. Recommend putting out four of finer reeds with twist both ways and have a good reason for this request. If they can spare £2-300 get William to buy 15 bags of cotton at Liverpool; can get it at 13d good. If they agreed to do it will inform Roberts that they mean to draw on his at 3 months from 1 February. He dare not object to this and they would only draw 1 month's interest. Very good cause to think Cotton will advance in Feb. If they want money very much, this sum is neither considerable nor locked up - Mr Leech would resell cotton for them any day, for it will go no lower. Writer wants reply by Saturday's post - if agree how soon would a sample of twist shirtings be available, how many fine shirtings can be sent in February and how many in March, are all shirtings ordered to bleachers or have they kept a gray stock. If any gray are sold under 10½ writer will say goods in the market are not being fairly dealt by. Best of sort which come to knowledge of connections. No time to be lost - best season of year at hand. Hope Finch refused Pattons offer at 9½. Impudence.
