William Longsdon at Eyam to his uncle, Mr [Thomas] Longsdon at Little Longsdon [Longstone], saying that last Monday he saw Mr Beech who had forgotten his appointment with Thomas at Ashford. Beech goes to Mrs Finney's next Monday afternoon and wishes to meet them both there. William may not be able to go, so asks his uncle to do so, and thinks Beech cannot fail a third appointment, Beech said that he could not have the £200 owed to Thomas ready for 5 April and suggested deferring both the payment and the surrender but William told him that he thought this imprudent in view of the untrustworthiness of the people they were dealing with.
