Title	18 July 1811 John Longsdon to Mother - Hopes she's better - she will have no good account of writer from William but will get better as hot weather leaves. William has seen W Whateley and family - very much better spirits. Can she send him a basket of poultry? He would like it much. Congratulates her on having Mr G M's [George Morewood] family for neighbours; they are coming next month. Will soon need shirts - will get a piece of Irish linen and send it down to her to get made. Getting on well in business. Father no need to worry. Finch and William get on well. Goods sell regularly and to some profit. Getting nearer to state in which ought to be in business and everything else. Only impediment is Father's and James' differences which he thinks will subside, or a remedy must be found. James never writes to writer and he knows writer has much less time than him but John means to enter into a regular correspondence with him which he doubts he will keep up. He thinks it may bring some remedy. In meantime go to Bubnell when she finds herself unwell at home - will do Father good to ride over to Bubnell frequently and hopes to hear that she is often there. Will write to her again by Thomas Gardom - much the same and if not improved, Thomas has acquired no bad habits in London which is something in his favour for some young fellows get quite spoiled. Mrs Barker not pleased with her son John's military career and writer is afraid he will lose his character with her by approving it so much for certainly he thinks he has taken a wise and spirited course. Well and repairs to headquarters of Northampton early next month.
