"That is fine. I care not who makes the draft, your indorsement is sufficient for me."
"Have you such confidence in me?"
"Why not?"
"Then we may do better."
"Any way."
"I will get a draft accepted by my friend here in New York; I will indorse it and I will take care of it."
"Any way, my dear friend; I am only too glad to be of service to you."
"You are very kind."
"Why not—are we not good friends. And I have not many friends in New York. How much will you need?"
"Two thousand dollars."
