From an Agent who has been engaged in endeavouring to arrange a matter of importance, applying for Remuneration.
189, Trafalgar Square, September 14th, 187—
Dear Madam,
You will of course have observed, by the announcement in the newspapers of this day's date, that the business we have been so anxious about is settled. I do not wish to enlarge on my own humble services in the cause; but I am sure you will admit that if a professional gentleman had been employed, the advice and services I have rendered during the last few years would have been made into a very lengthy bill, far exceeding the amount you promised me, whatever the issue of the negotiations might be. I am well assured that I am in good hands, however, and had I been called upon to render ten times the required services and advice, you would have found me as ready and willing as I have been. Your kind favour of the —ult., enclosing cheque, was duly received. I need not say how glad I shall be to hear again from you at your earliest convenience.
I remain,
Dear Madam,
Yours very faithfully,
Erasmus Jackson.
