TitleFather to John. Thanks for letter of 3rd. Expecting to hear from William of receipt and lodging with Jones of bill of £496.11s due 5 July he sent him. Accounts from Manchester of trade alarming. Do all he can to dispose of 7/8 shirtings in London at most moderate diminution in price at which it can be done to indubitable houses. Considerably more money due this month and next than writer expected also more probability of stagnation in trade than advance.
Mr George Morewood told writer on Tuesday that it might be necessary for John to go to Heligoland in May when writer had planned for him to come to Longstone and hinted John would be at liberty soon after his arrival in town. John to postpone his visit to parents until after his return. John to go as soon as necessary and hope voyage will improve health.
William Hulley just came from New York here yesterday with news of good health of Mr Ernest Morwood's family. Coming to London in few days.
Writer has examined cross bow - in worse condition than expected. Lent it to a gentleman who returned it with a broken string - but as he says he can get it put in order, and think of sending by Mr Hulley.
Wants John to send £200 in bank paper from HE & B in sums of £10 each - whole if possible, if not £150 or £100. Hopes William's memory will improve with health.
