Father to John Longsdon acknowledging most affectionate, kind and disinterested letter of 22nd which writer showed to George Morewood. Glad he is postponing visit until May - overjoyed with thoughts of "having you with me in the Drake season". Social chit chat - Mother gone to the Cliffe. Hope William coming tomorrow. Pleased John concluded the bargain for the 300 pieces presuming they are going to a safe house. The times are critical. Finch increasing the super 7/8 - stouter and look excellent. |
