Title
9 March 1815
London. John Longsdon to Mother. Referring to letter to Father of 10/11 Feb with copy.
William and writer think Father's uneasiness partly because of diminished property and possibly a little not having made a will - thought a free declaration of their principles and intentions best. Only answer 2 lines telling them their letter was satisfactory and declining because of health to go into any explanatory matter.
They thought Father would show letter to her and James. Clear that he has not, so they are telling her about it and she can show this to Father and James.
William and writer have frequently requested father to employ his disposable property in providing for Bessy and Kate and to omit any provision for William and writer. Trusts he will apportion a fair considerable sum to each of them even if he does not choose to do anything more.
