N——, March 5, 19—.
Arthur Appleton, Esq.,
City.
Dear Sir:—
I sincerely regret to hear that the repairs you require have not as yet been attended to. Owing to the late severe frost, it is almost impossible to find enough plumbers for the amount of work required at the present moment; however, I have requested my architect to send some one round to-morrow to ascertain the extent of the damage, and to start work at once. Hoping this will prove satisfactory,
I remain,
Yours respectfully,
Peter Stirling.
