Title | 24 May 1811 Mother to John Longsdon. Encouraged to hope brighter happier days yet in store. Fine beautiful spring with prospect of plenty. Brother returned from Lancaster with very nice lot of cattle - hope will do well and turn to profit. Full employment and much room for improvement in farming concerns now they are in possession of new purchase. Old barn at top of garden fortunately half fallen down - fortunately because fears it would not have been taken down. Respects to Mr W Whateley or family - concerned for them; cannot take pleasure in thought of sea bathing without his father's free and full approbation. Not possible now; wait a more favourable opportunity. |
