I recieved last night your favor of [. . .] 15th. am sorry my awkwardness in business gives you so much trouble. I had supposed that the promisee of a note endorsing the note, authorised the holder to write over his signature an authority to recieve the money. I now correct the error by inclosing you a power of attorney from my grandson giving as fully as I know how to express it a power for the present and all subsequent renewalls and salute you with affectionate esteem and respect.
