From a Young Man who has taken his late Employer's Business, to an old Customer.
Romsey, July 4th, 187—
Sir,
I doubt not that you have heard of the death of my late employer. I have managed his business during the whole of his illness, and as his widow declines to carry it on, I have taken the shop and stock-in-trade, and shall be glad to keep up the connexion with you. I have sent the enclosed bills, which are due, and you may depend on punctuality and attention if you honour me with your orders.
I remain,
Yours respectfully, ______
To a Young Man, relative to his late Employer's Business, which he proposes to carry on.
Portsmouth, July 7th, 187-
