A Tenant to a Landlord, requesting Time to Pay Rent.
14, Steel Street, January 21st, 187—
Dear Sir,
From most unexpected and distressing circumstances, of which perhaps you may, by report, have become acquainted before this, I regret that I have been unable to pay my rent for the past half-year. But as up to this time the payment has always been punctually made, I hope I may request your kind forbearance a short time longer. Trusting that you will accede to my request,
I am, dear Sir,
Yours respectfully,
Adam Jones.
C. Douglas, Esq.
