Title25 July 1812
London. William Longsdon formally to Messrs James Longsdon and Co with statement of Messrs Porters Co's July sales and 13 pieces £22.2s6d due 4 November - dilatory manner of doing business does not promise favourable results on extended travel. Thinks best to wind up account in earliest and most convenient way possible.
Expecting bill from Habgood to be carried to Jones. James Bickers in this to order 60 pieces shirting. Habgoods expect to make sales next week. Cotton does not advance much because of news from America but they are stocked for some weeks whatever happens. Glad to know how Manchester likely to be affected by failure of Kensington and Co. Just received £203.9s due 9 November from Habgood. If necessary will try to get another bill from them to meet Mr Finch on next journey to Manchester.
