Title	21 March 1809 John Longsdon at Manchester to his father, James Longsdon, senior, thanking him warmly for his letter. The goods are almost ready, and he is going to Liverpool on Thursday. He will not engage a passage unless he has satisfactory reasons to think he has a good opportunity. As to letters of credit, Mr Barker of this Court wrote a few days ago to friends in London who have connexions there and promised John letters which would give him pleasure. Anthony Lo... is only acquainted with one house but will give a letter to them. John will see Mr Brideoake about William who should now be in a situation where at least his maintenance should accounted inferior to his labour, otherwise he ought to gain valuable experience. John expects a dull market today because of the drop in cotton. There is no regular price, old ones sold at 21d, new at 23d and 2s. Should there be a continued embargo and a Non-Intercourse Bill with it, Cottons will advance rapidly again.
