Dear Sirs:—
May we ask your kind indulgence with regard to our overdue account? Owing to unforseen circumstances, we find it is not in our power to settle it under three months from this date. We think it best to solicit this favor frankly rather than to allow you to expect a payment unfortunately not forthcoming. We need not say how much we regret this delay, which is nevertheless unavoidable.
We remain,
Yours obediently,
Henry Holden & Sons.
