Title	25 May 1814 London. John Longsdon to James Longsdon. Thanks for handsome present of hung beef - excellent and highly esteemed. Letter by Thomas Gardam very middling account of his prospects for farming this year, sorry he starts with so many difficulties though eventually they will all be overcome and seem of lesser consequence than do now. As no detailed arrangement has been made by Father, writer thinks he will keep giving up land to James as he finds himself relieved by quitting his hands of unnecessary business. Will learn more on William's return which cannot be said in correspondence. No immediate prospect of going abroad. Thanks for taking care of his young pointer out of Ned Newton's bitch. Expects it to be very fine young whelp.
