Title	Brother James to John Longsdon. Writer had nearly finished a letter when heard of his visit north about father's sentiments and Finch's acts in mercantile concern - can't because he has had opportunity of talking to William. Pretty plain Finch deceived him grievously over money matters. Father no idea so much owing. Father much pressed. Many Christmas Bills unpaid and where capital necessary now for farming concern is to come from writer does not know. Hope he can arrange plan with William and glad to hear Finch's journeys to Manchester are to end. How are M and P L [Longsdon] and what will become of Willson's large family - how will estate turn out and how far their character suffer. Surprised he has Barker with him again at Islington and more so that he is not in list of Cambridge honours graduates. Many pleasant parties and merry dances in Baslow circuit generally kept up with great spirit to a late hour. Please send barrel of oysters to Mr Gear, Gardam B[ubnell] near Chesterfield - let them know when. [In letter to Father say "parcel" not "oysters". Mother not well. Kate very unwell but now recovered.] Miss H N [Harriet Needham] has been very unwell with her old complaint; has written many curious addresses to different parts of family. Miss H N's earrings please her. Mrs Baker enquires about little commission she had given him. 18 Feb 1811
