Title	6 November 1815 London. John Longsdon to James Longsdon - acknowledging letter of 4th and receipt of remittance £30 cash and £30 note - £60 altogether. Mr Morewood willing to receive his money and allow him interest upon it. Letter gloomy but must make most of their resources. Not necessary to say anything further to Mr M about land - thinks he will let James have it. Mr George Morewood thinks of offering James his Flaxlow bottom and writer has engaged that James would be glad to have it at fair rent. It would be very hard for James to lose the Calder hills after having improved them so much. Hope won't be case. Worst of all is very low state of their finances - will write to James in few days about lottery tickets draw. Will see to Mr Barker's men. Hopes to meet with Coffee in few days to his mind. Tuesday Morning Writer's own situation is becoming very pleasant. Time at hand when income will exceed expenditure. William well acquainted with writer's sentiments - he has recently refrained accepting offers by Mr M to do business on own account because thinks could promote James' and William's interests more by not doing. Hints at refraining from marriage because does not wish to weaken family by any detachment from it. William excellent prospects but needs help for year or two. Begs James not to complain to mother and sisters about father's treatment of him.
