Title	16 September 1874 William Longsdon at Longstone to Walter Ferguson on death of his father. Unexpected; deep grief. First knew as a boy or youth in 1815 as also his excellent Mother. Did business with the firm of Ogden, Day and Co when first established and then with Ogden, Ferguson and Co from which period writer's intimacy with and attachment to father increased. Deep sympathy to brothers and sisters. Own health of late placed life in serious danger from large discharge of blood from stomach. Kept writer 20 days in bed and sill confines him to diet of a little milk and beef tea or simple broth. Rather better again. Remembrances to his brothers and sisters, uncles and aunt Sarah Ferguson. Glad to hear from him if business duties allow time for a few lines.
