TitleFather to John Longsdon. Decided to have full settlement with Mr Finch - likely to meet with difficulty and opposition and means to ask Mr Morewood's help. Returned from Liverpool and now has 2 American merchants with him - one German, the other French. Goatley business - Serlo's conduct too bad to describe. Exclusive of mental feelings, writer considers his property means considerably more than £1000. James, Serlo's youngest brother, has set out to follow him to Quebec intending to recover some property from him - this against writer's advice on account of James being an improper person to send.
No mention of goods - suppose nothing to be done in way of sales. Presume goods in Habgood's hands - begs John to look after them for sales are necessary at this time. Finch thinks linings on article affording fair prospect. Good if John could get a few orders. Don't wish or like to close work entirely in a crisis like present.
William ill - talks of trying Buxton - wants him to come home first. Pleased John's health now good.
