Title18 May 1811
Father to John Longsdon. Sorrow and surprise at the matter being represented to John in the manner in which he has taken it up. Without true harmony and active exertion most willingly given on parts of himself and his brother and Mr F [Finch], much success cannot reasonably be expected. It has been a pleasing sensation to writer that it had been much improved of late and fully existed. Hope it does and will not be disturbed.
Why no comment or apology to John etc. Gregory on Manchester carrier arrived last night having lost his pocket book in which were 2 letters for him. 2 last weeks manufacture as near 130 pieces printed as writer can count. Hopes John can dispose of it. John's exertions of greatest satisfaction to writer and John must give earliest warning possible of diminishing demand. George Brushfield pressing for bills today, writer has drawn him one on Jones'.
Writer fears he has persevered too long in Manchester concern but think it was through a fond hope of fixing John and William respectably in life. Writer not without hope of seeing them both doing well before he dies.
