You wrote me some time ago that you could discharge any pressing debts for me. My haveing a Daughter Married and to fix off for Kentucky after which it is hardly probable that I shall ever see her agane has put me to some unusual expence this together with my bad management Obliges me to ask your assistance. If you could let me have Seventy five or Eighty Pounds you would do me a great favor....
