Title	14 March 1811 John Longsdon formally to firm. Shirtings sent to Roberts and Co - so deficient in width and quality that no certain price can be laid down for them - do not measure more than 27 inches wide and quality full 1d per yard more - partly from bleaching. Writer will inform William of it. Finer quality sent to Habgood not on average 27 inches for they measured 40 pieces. No price can be given at all equal to what would have been attained had they been 3/4 inches narrower than usual which neither Mr Roberts and Mr Evans would have refused. Desire them to sell at what price they can. Think now making old width but very apprehensive from appearance of Roberts goods that weft not hard enough - sure it is very irregular. Robert says quality worst ever saw from their house. Bickers account Goods 32.3 Bill on Roberts at 2 weeks from 12 March £50 and 510 in cash. By goods returned £82.55
