Title13 March 1810
Eliz Longsdon to her son John Longsdon at Manchester sending a portmanteau with clothes and piece of fine Irish cloth to be made into shirts for him. She is sending muslin for neckbands in his sister's trunk, and his sister will make them to his order.
With enclosure: Mr Barker has sent a fine hare for John's brother, James. She is putting it in the hamper with the birds but not paying carriage so that he may receive them safer. His father is glad of the improvement in trade. She sends news of friends and the comment of an officer at Parkgate [? parish of Baslow], who served in a brigade with the 28th regiment, that there never was a braver set of men then those who suffered in Spain.
