Title	7 April 1811 Islington. John Longsdon to Father. Letter of 30th received. Messrs J and G M George Morewood have very great amount of property in situations making it unavailable and cannot offer father an advance and therefore opportunity of drawing and refunding at maturity of draft should be availed of in those situations where draft of longest date can be issued and money for father's purchases in cattle might be drawn from his Manchester concern by receiving Bills at 2 months in Habgood, 3 or 2 more on J Bickers and Co and 2 months in Edward Roberts and Co which D3580/C185 writer imagines no difficulty in paying or in getting discounted into Provincial paper current in his district and substitute in Manchester concern drafts at 4 months on J and G M [George Morewood] - refund to J and G M from first sales of cattle. Acceptance of Messrs J and G M of his bill at 4 months more respectable than 19 of 20 bills current in Manchester and no real grounds for objection. Consult Finch on how money can be spared from Manchester concern. Took goods back from Bickers because almost immediately after giving order he had to close his credit with the people for which he intended the order - more on his hands than connections with shopkeepers would take off. Took back part of goods on grounds that Mr B would hereafter be a good customer. 8 April - Spinning in Manchester had better be relinquished for present and disbursements in every branch as limited as possible.
