My object in taking the liberty to address you in this way, is, in the first place, to ask your attention to the accompanying...

Upon the supposition that that would be the case, I paid Mr. Green the $10. recd. in your favour of the...

Enclosed I send you a statement of your a/c. as it stands on my Books, for your examination. The payment made by Mr. Waller in March 1827 did not quite balance the acct. and apprehending that you might be under the impression that it was balanced at that time, I have had it drawn off from the previous settlement. I pray you give it an exination, and if there are any errors in my statement they...
