| Title | 30 March 1811
Father to John Longsdon. Letter of 24th received with Newspaper. Thanks to Mr G M [George Morewood] for accommodation and as he is coming into Derbyshire can arrange matters when they meet. Finch's compliments. Habgood had 3 pieces 7/8 shirting unaccounted for on last sales account. Also has drawn 30 March No 23 to George Brightfield at 2 months for £50. William will advise from Manchester of other drafts and some ... William wishes Mr F to go with him to sale of M and P Langsdon's machinery day before last meeting of Creditors. Sorry to observe William's deficiency in moving of packs forwarded to John Longsdon.
Farming concerns neglected being done in due season - brother's behaviour more agreeable. He has made a bad debt and contrary to his direction and turns out even worse than he expected - returned yesterday from ineffectual journey into Yorkshire. Doubt what advantage James' experience will be to him. Great damage to their sale of shirtings is by changing bleacher, step kept from him. F. [Finch] and William knew writer disapproved - and only necessity forced start. |
