Title	2 June 1811 James to John Longsdon - No time to write between Lancaster and Buxton - not noticed earlier John's urgent request for answer. Barker and Ashford brought up letter and small parcel to be forwarded to John. Take opportunity of including in parcel £15.15s Od in gold and trust Mr G M [George Morewood] will not think it too cumbersome. He does not know what John will be able to make of the -------- but John will do the best he can. It was said a little while ago they [............] were bought here at 25/ and James should think them worth as much and about allowing John a share for negotiating them James has no objection to. The writer has been negligent in answering John's letters, must beg an immediate reply to this - Have 8 or 9 more but some payments that writer must make this week amount to £8 - as William comes here on Wednesday if John will enclose James a £10 note writer will give them to him to forward to John. If he thinks it worthwhile James sending them, it is writer's intention John keeps these 15 - £4 and four shillings for Mrs B and the remainder to be put in writer's credit unless he should make a bargain with his Father for his young horse - broken in this spring and would like to buy or exchange for him but Father unwilling. If father agrees and James has money to pay him, hope John can let him have another £10 until writer sells some of his cows £70 debt writer owes remains in his father's hand. Cattle much dearer at Lancaster and fear bought at too high prices to do much good. Father had 21 (2 or 3 lame) rest ...... and grow pretty well - Father satisfied with them. James' not so promising - one very ill, doubtful whether she will come about again. Writer does not hear much said about business - hopes all is well. Father seems more anxious about money to reimburse GM [George Morewood?]
