Title3 December 1816
Anthony Longsdon at Manchester to James Longsdon, junior. Favoured with his uncle John's letter of 27 of last month mentioning writer's mother's wish for him to send her a little cash. Obliged if James would pay her £5 and charge to writer's account. Expected pleasure of seeing James here last week but Hully says his horse lamed.
Sorry to hear from Peter of the destruction of crops and grazing cattle now selling so low. Please inform writer how James has sold those from the Makeleys. If James knows of any person that wishes to sell their common right of Longsdon Moor as money is now so .......... writer thinks it might be bought very low. When James can come writer shall be very glad to see him there.
Annotated with pencil note of purchase of 2 beasts for £26 on 13 Jan 1817.
