Title
2-25 June 1832
3 letters from George Morewood at London to William Longsdon at Longstone, near Bakewell referring to a long visit which his son Rowland is paying to William and its restorative powers, his own lack of news from his sisters and enquiries concerning her health but chiefly to solicit [successfully] William's help for his son George Barrow Morewood. George who was in New York in his uncle Edmund's business has, William from his knowledge of Edmund will not be surprised to learn, left his uncle amicably, taken a country house and gone into lodgings separately, with an agency and salary from A Barrow, Putnam and Co. Father now engaged in Brewery much regrets own loss of contacts following secession from commerce and asks both for letters of introduction and a guarantee of £500 backing his own guarantee to Messrs Lucas and Ewbank [? of London]. George is not to use credit except in furtherance of business to Antwerp, Liverpool or Hamburg in consignments to A Barrow, Putnam and Co, Antwerp, Leech and Harrison, Liverpool, or Hagewinter and Terdooft of Hamburg. George has already an introductory letter given by Mr Ewbank to Masters and Mackoe and authority to refer to Messrs Jn Schneider and Co, to the sources both in London and Liverpool and to Messrs Leach and Harrison. [Obvious from letters that William and Leech and Harrison have agreed to give guarantees and that William is considering a letter of introduction to Messrs Prime, King and Co.]
