Sir

I have withdrawn your bond to the late firm of A Robertson & Co from Mr Barret of Richmond, Mr Miller, for whose benefit it is, has become so very impatient and importunate on the subject of his collections that I must insist on your paying the balance of the bond during the current year, I beg to hear from you upon this subject.

Yo. obt. St.
