Title
10 May 1810
John Longsdon at London to his father, James Longsdon, senior, at Longstone, describing his work. He first read the late correspondence to get an insight, then acted as supernumary, and is now beginning to attend Lloyds' where it is intended his principal duty will be. The prospect of trade with the Continental powers is more lowering than he ever knew it.
The shirtings for Bickers are to hand. William tells him that their father and Mr Finch did not think the price sufficient. So John informs his father that there is no prospect of them doing anything in this market.
