Title	London. John Longsdon to mother. Forgot to send shirt pattern with Mr G - apologises that no new hats appear - not weather for men's hats, this damp air quite spoils them. Will try to send them on Thursday. Habgood Evans and Browne known by JL & Co offered to send barrel of oysters to writer's address, directed them to his father to go on 26 Thursday by Leeds Mail carriage paid. Last barrel was Mr Wissmann's present. Writer has to get some small things for Mrs Barker, will try to get them all off by Leeds Mail and her carrier can bring them all to Longsdon. Mrs B receive them on Sunday. Advises her to attend Bakewell Assemblies. Offered two tickets for Hackney Assemblies - declined on grounds of cold. Does she think father would object to her and Bessy coming to see writer? Does she think Miss Morewood would come to town to pay a visit about the same time? Spent Sunday at Mr Mackmurdos. She would not be surprised at him falling in love there if she knew the family - but if writer ever so much inclined he dare not while he sees so much difficulty in getting bread and cheese.
