Title	19 September 1827 Ann Longsdon at Longsdon to William Longsdon at L&H, Liverpool. Writes because William said he would be glad to hear from her. Pained to hear of unpleasantness between him, Mr Harrison and Mr Wager. Cannot see why things cannot be arranged amicably. Can none of them help her dear husband's affairs being in so deranged a state. None can deny she is the greatest sufferer. Her wish now as always for peace and unanimity. No one will ever persuade writer that the faults are all his brothers. His many faults he confessed and lamented and sincerely repented. Never understood what part of his brother's will is so blamed. Mr Smithers said Mr Harrison ought to have interfered as a professional man in making it. Does Mr S think William's brother in full possession of his senses would have allowed Mr H to interfere. Thought several times she would ask William but lacked courage. Brother thought he had made a just will. Left disposal or keeping of remainder of estate to writer. Wishes and intends to keep it in the family but will not give any documentary promises that it shall not be sold. Reminder that year today by day of week since his brother and himself bade each other farewell in Manchester. Poor fellow - so anxious William should see her and their sweet child before he left England. Gentle reproach for not calling on her parents. Wishes he can make arrangements to settle in Longsdon - thinks runs great risk of crossing Atlantic twice yearly.
