Title	11 Nov 1811 Father to John Longsdon - Reluctant to give news - did not expect stagnation in shirtings and saw prospect when trade got into any tolerable way that by John's exertion would be in line to meet market with advantage and to John and William. Sent Finch to Manchester on Tuesday on account of William's illness - did not and could not sell piece of any description. Says John has written to William cautioning him against selling any of the gray through fear he should sacrifice from an apprehension of shortages of money. Self apprehensive of stagnation - yet does not despair. Supposes John informed by William how their payments stand at Manchester. Wishes John would write to him direct as to how he is situated for supplying him. Respects to Mr George, Morewood and accords with John's advice about using his permission to draw - if proper opportunity occurs thank him. Finch returned from Manchester on Wednesday with indifferent account of William's health. Two men repairing mules here already a fortnight - expect as long again. Sale of fat cattle suddenly and unexpectedly stagnant as shirtings.
