R. pay my balance of Dec. 31. and subseqt draughts & your other owed disbursemts forms and leave in my favor a sum of between 4. & 500. D. but I am obliged to make in favor of Jas Leitch one draught for 541.17. and another for 50. I would have delayed this till the rect of my exact acct at the end of this month but I could not.
