Title	3 July 1811 Father to John Longsdon. Writer expecting letter and welcomed William to breakfast - rides to Bakewell this evening in expectation of letter from John and unless John alters the arrangement will be in Islington on Saturday evening. Miss M declined the £30 writer offered her - but delighted to hear GM [George Morewood] comes this month. William will tell John all news. Before he died, Mr M after a long conversation said writer may think himself happy in having a son like John to be a guide or steersman to his family. Do not blame writer for cautioning him against stretching his arm too far in these bad times for he feels that on John will rest the future credit to attach to the name of Longsdon. 4 July - John's letter of 2nd ...... ...... Send as John requests a bill dated to day at 3 months on Jones for Mr G M for £200. House can not be conveniently advised until Finch goes to Manchester on Monday or Tuesday next. Notes what John says about Jones taking bills to account and will take first opportunity to arrange it with the House. Understands there will be very little to pay at Manchester next week - no reply to writer's letter of 29th. On re-reading John's letter see he means enclosed bill for £253 to be sent to Manchester immediately but as F goes on Tuesday, no doubt GM will keep bill from presenting until advice given.
