89. From a Lady to a Dressmaker Postponing the Settlement of an Account.
N——, January 8, 19—.
Mrs. Selborn is sorry she cannot send Miss Jackson a check by return mail as requested, but hopes to be able to do so in the course of the next ten days. She had not forgotten Miss Jackson's account, and is only sorry that she has been obliged to keep her waiting such a long time for full settlement.
90. From a Gentleman to His Tailor.
D——, December 18, 19—.
Mr. Shears,
City.
Dear Sir:—
The Prince Albert coat you sent me yesterday is a misfit in every way. It is too large across the shoulders, tight under the arms, narrow in the chest; the sleeves also are too short, and the collar is full of wrinkles. Considering that I was measured for it, and that it was subsequently tried on, there is no excuse for its fitting so badly. I have this morning returned it to you, and if the alterations are not made to my satisfaction, I shall of course decline to keep the garment.
Yours faithfully,
Alfred Sandringham.
