Title	20 November 1827 Smithers to William Longsdon at L&H, Liverpool forwarded to Charleston, South Carolina per Napoleon. Sale of stock end of last month went off badly - things generally fetching low prices - they bought in most of bullocks and refused writer's winter pasture of the Ashford farm at a valuation and put it up in lots and then ran it up to an unfair price. Bought for William winter pasture of all his lots behind the house for £13 and bought at Newhaven Fair 22 ewes for £28.12s - drawn on L&H for £40 in his "Primary Account" and £20 to make the payment to William's uncle. Sale of land on 2nd of this month. - factory for £100 to George Wilson and cottage for £50, subsequently sold cottages in Great Longstone to James Gregory for £300. Auction very poorly attended. Many lots not put up. Mr Furniss best customer for Flaxdale but does not know his price.
