Title	7 December 1811 London. John Longsdon to father. Their manufacturing affairs coming fast to crisis when expedient to judge whether to make goods at all will be prudent. Cotton already 16d at Liverpool - expected to keep its price. Twist is advancing and unless goods get up in the same proportion writer would not make them - must wait a little to see and likewise to know whether speculation in cotton can keep it up. President's speech betrays enmity to England and weakness of his own country. Does not think United States much better off than Holland. Not pressing sales at Habgoods thinking that goods must advance in January - if needs money, draw £150 remaining of G H offered - better than sacrificing goods. Memorandum to mother. Shall not want any shirts made from cotton as he has got a few made here from some of their own manufacture to sleep in. Cough almost better.
