Title2 May 1812
Father to John Longsdon at Islington and M & F, Pinsons Lane Cheapside, London by Mr Finch. New pressure by the Goatley concerns communicated suddenly last night yet magnified greatly by delay. Writer's loss will be greater than any idea of, but writer does not despair. Mr Finch knows past - but writer does not wish it communicated. Serlo has acted a part writer is ashamed of giving a name to when speaking of a person who bears that of Longsdon.
Bring the crossbow if repaired - end of month time for rookshooting - writer would have great pleasure in seeing and instructing John but particularly in bringing one down after John had missed which has been the case with partridge.
