Title	25 April 1810 John Longsdon in London to his father, James Longsdon, senior, at Longstone. On Monday he started his new employ with Messrs J and G Morewood and expects to be abundantly satisfied. He has moved into his new residence at Astey's Buildings, Islington [Middlesex] recommended by G Morewood, paying £1.1.0. a week for 6 months, to drop to £1 a week if he stays for 12 months. Ward and he went to Alfreton, and then to Nottingham on Monday morning, joined the Leeds Mail at 9 o'clock and arrived in London at 5.30 Tuesday morning. The coach broke down in Finsbury Square. There is no demand here for Manchester goods except what little is doing for country trade. Roberts say the utmost price for shirtings 13½ to 14d. John asked them to send his father the account for the sales of 3 Velveteens which Mr Finch was wanting. He has sent a small order to his brother in Manchester from John Bickers and Co for shirtings. They may take a considerable quantity off Longsdon's hands by purchase. John sends messages from Mr William and John Whateley and Mr G Morewood and friends. There is no political news of consequence. He has scarcely heard Sir Francis Burdett's name mentioned.
