Title
1 April 1802
James Longsdon to James Longsdon Junior at the Revd John Ashridge's, Heath, telling him to ask Mr Ashridge's leave to meet him next day at Chesterfield at Mrs Gardom's about 6 in the evening, and come prepared to return home with him for a night or two. James sends his respects to Mr Ashridge and congratulates with him on 2 good pieces of news, the Definitive Treaty of Peace and Repeal of the Income Tax Act. James has taken an active part in promoting a Petition in his neighbourhood for the latter purpose. Mr Finch is about to leave for Manchester. Mother thanks John for his letter of 26 of last month. James bought some sheep at high price on account of their bread but has no time for details. If James is prevented from meeting James junior, at Mrs Gardom's on Friday he will be there on Saturday.
