Title	16 May Father to John Longsdon. Unfortunate circumstances continue to accumulate - view with satisfaction sales made since Mr Finch with John. Mr F mentions John's proposal to send to Manchester for 7/8 shirtings etc and him to remain in London until all sold. Writer cannot acquiesce - necessary Finch return as soon as possible after arranging about goods already in hand. If possible procure a bill to be given to Mr Morewood before he leaves John. Any acceptances which Finch can get before he leaves John to be placed in Jones' hands. See sales to Bickers with pleasure. Farming tinged with Trade's malignant influence. Lean stock too dear for ordinary profit. John's brother not very successful in his Lancaster purchases. Meeting a dealer at Ashbourne on Wednesday to fill up the pastures. With letter to Finch. Sales not very satisfactory but relief if sold to safe and solid persons - and much better than expected. Finish business in hand and come home quickly. His family well.
