Title	20 December 1816 John Longsdon at London to James Longsdon. Letters of 27 of last month and 16 of this month received. Bill £17.10s and £20 paid to Miss Morewood on 7 of this month stand to James credit by which his account is about balanced. Pleased James had pretty comfortable visit at old Rectors. Has not found a mirror yet. Glass one may buy as cheap at Sheffield, so do this and when writer finds a good cheap mirror, writer will secure it for him. Sorry that has not succeeded in borrowing sum of money mentioned and that writer's chance of success is less than it was. Not yet despaired and will continue to do best. Their Father must join James in security for it; imagine he would make no objection. Pleasure to see him in London in spring; hopes it may be arranged; expense of journey not great and James' expenses there would very little. Kate at Miss Hetherington's. Things look well for William. Most likely now going down to Charleston having received his orders for cotton. Letters from him to 23 of last month. Please tell Father with writer's love that he does not wish any application to be made to Mr Mason for an order for Cotton just now. Please tell Miss M all is well at Newington Green. Tomorrow is 8th anniversary of wedding - going to drive there unless the happy results of the marriage create an interruption. Accept writer's thanks for what he says about game and poultry - decline latter Nothing heard from Mr WHM but gentleman by whom sent letter arrived in Malta.
