Title26 March
Father to John Longsdon. Seem to be getting into an unfriendly situation with Habgoods - which most unconvenient. Use every exertion to get them to make sales as soon as possible. Wishes they may obtain 11d for the Common Shirtings & Bills at a reasonable date. Will need £700 for purchasing cattle soon - many debts in Manchester now due. John has settled matters with Patterson & Smith like a prudent tradesman - hope William well enough to execute order in satisfactory matter. Severe weather stopped their carriers going to Manchester this week - the goods are lodged in writer's cart house. Wants hint how Morewood's stand in money matters. 10 different articles now being made in factory.
