Title
8 July 1817
Peter Longsdon at Manchester to James Longsdon, junior. Hoped before now to have had small bill to send James but people extremely tardy in paying accounts. No alteration in Anthony - bodily health good. Daily expecting letter from David about day he sets out for Longsdon. Anxious to hear how James has gone on with writer's mother's little affairs.
16 May 1817. John Longsdon at London to James Longsdon, replying to letter from Garstang. Glad AL behaved in friendly manner and gave James financial assistance. Draft £20 shall be duly paid.
Hears from home that James has bought a nice lot of cattle. If James can remit funds to cover maturity of his bill in £40 should be glad to receive it; if not convenient do not feel any uneasiness.
Weather fine and warm after moderate rains; reflect with satisfaction on advantages.
Flour advanced today about 3/- a sack.
