In answer to my letter which had mentioned that I should be obliged to go again into the bank, you were so kind as to say, the balance then being between 1700. & 1800. D.1 that to this balance you could accomodate yourself for 2. or even 4. months rather than take it from the bank. I have taken an exact view of all the calls which will come on me through the winter, and send you a statement of them and of the times they must be answered, with the intermediate sums of Compensation to be recieved and applied to meet them. by this it appears that the balance due from me will be always under 1700. D. and will be compleatly surmounted March 4. this is longer than you had contemplated, and I therefore propose that the moment you find any inconvenience from it, now or any time hence, you accept my note to be discounted at the bank, which I shall always be ready to give you. Accept assurances of my affectionate esteem.
