John Longsdon to Father. Last letter of 18 of this month confirmed Mr GM's [George Morewood] willingness to accept his drafts as specified in his of 16th. Letter from Finch yesterday giving heads of his half yearly stock taking - only sum total of losses before witnessed in detail - however goods father now makes, sell at fair profit and his agents are safe men. Finch says can make goods upon a still better principle by few alterations at father's works in Derbyshire which writer likes better than starting spinning just now in Manchester. With addition from George Morewood. Sorry that can only lend £500 for limited period - has had his disappointments and now oppressed by load of goods either unsaleable or which can only be realised at an immense sacrifice.
Mrs GM and her young folks going on quite as writer would wish. Advice from brother far from encouraging but not without hope of his case [invalid at Thornbridge]. |
