| Title | James Longsdon to John - ashamed he has not written - as his voyage postponed for few days writes now. Writer will leave nothing undone to contribute to peace and habits of parents - differences of opinion between writer and father much less frequent. Mother had few days at Bubnell, better than a few weeks ago. Has urged her to go to a bathing place.
£6.6s from Mr B [Barker] for Miss B [Barker]'s habit - think he said balance of £7 due to him which with £6.6s intended remitting in about a fortnight. Let writer know if to send William any part of it and whether writer should send it to London any day after Wednesday.
Think William has left his tongue behind in London - no account of his journey or whether anything to his liking or disliking.
Going on to moors tomorrow and hope to be more successful when partridge shooting commences.
Cattle now growing pretty well and beef so far sold as well as could be expected. This year favourable for the Gargol at present; have not suffered much. Wish pleasant journey - if John wants money before he goes, draw it from father's concerns and James will pay Father or Mr F[Finch] |
