address youyou sir are a dispassionate man and can
cooly reason on the fact without partiality or views

afternoon I suspected none of the part is to be Imposing
on me however I find them unfortunately so had I known
before yesterday the real state of the case I should have have
presue their accepting their Money for I could not be culpable
as what I related was strictly true I was deceived it is as
solemn fact my situation suspend all Business of
