James Heaton, Esq. ______
Requesting the Renewal of a Bill.
Tipnor, February 4th, 187—
Dear Sirs,
Having had great difficulty in collecting my accounts during the last half year (although I have strict assurances that they will all, or nearly all, be settled by the end of this month), I find I am unable to meet in full my acceptance to you for 150l. 14s. 2d. Would you oblige me by holding it to the end of this month? I shall then be prepared to meet the same. An early reply will oblige,
Yours truly, ______
Messrs. Farren, Johnson, and Styles.
