Dear Sir,
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.
We got safe to town. In my way I delivered the Lease to Fletcher with proper instructions. To-morrow we shall proceed on business with all possible dispatch. I have nothing to add more than that Wilkes is just chose against Bromidge, 285 to 69.[122] Such is the spirit of the times.
I am, Dear Sir,
Most truly yours,
E. G.
