Title
10 February 1815
Islington. John Longsdon to Father. In last year William and John often regretted his lack of ease and tranquility - thought only thing necessary was a liberal frankness with his family, and willingness to make them participants in his labours and little resolution not to imagine himself over worked with business with no one to help him.
They have spent good deal of money though no bad account so that although they have diminished his income he has laid it out profitably. Confident that sisters will always have happy asylum with their brothers.
Virtue of solidity enough in family but cannot be happy unless he trusts them. Do not want to pry into his secrets but to help him.
11 Feb. No news. Congratulates him on expiry of Property Tax - saves writer £40 in this next year.
