Title	29 June 1811 Father to John Longsdon. Letter of 27th received. Feels uneasy that John should think writer has unnecessarily decided to curtail manufacture. Admires what John has done and delighted and satisfied with his assurance there there is no need to decrease. Not one of F's [Finch's] faults to think he has too much to attend to - will eagerly go on and increase - and so would writer when prudent. Decided this morning not to discharge any weavers. F assures writer this week's goods upwards of 130 pieces in aggregate best he every made. None sold in Manchester since small lot William sold Pottern - fully agrees with John in putting stop to that traffic. Now fears putting G M [George Morewood] to inconvenience. What does G M think of returning it by bill on Jones at 3 months? What does John say about Finch drawing on Habgoods to pay work people would be considered accom. but would it not interfere with arrangement of taking their own bills on their customers whose acceptances must strengthen Longsdons's security? If John can satisfactorily settle this point to draw for 30 or 40 a week would be sufficient reason to writer. Shall write to William to come to dinner on Wednesday - Does John want him in London at any particular time. Probably come from Newhaven. Writer thinks the coach is called Cornwallis. Writer notes about Roberts and unfortunate last goods were sent him, bigger shock than writer expected.
