MR. PATRICK K. CHISELHURST. 



DEAR SIR, I must call your attention 

 to the fact that, although your agreement 

 for the house rented by you from me stip- 

 ulates monthly payments in advance, you 

 have failed to pay for three months and 

 are now in arrears $100. 



If you fail to pay the account within six 

 days I shall be reluctantly compelled to 

 place the matter in the hands of my law- 

 yer for collection. 



Very respectfully, 



THOMAS FRASER.

SIR, I venture to hope that you will 

 call all your friendly feelings to my assist- 

 ance, in considering a proposal I am about 

 to lay before you, in which my happiness 

 is completely concerned. 



For a long time past your daughter, 

 Ettte, has held a strong hold over my af- 

 fections, and I have reason to believe that 

 I am not indifferent to her. My position 

 is such as to warrant my belief that I could 

 support her in the style of comfort which 

 she so well deserves, and which it has 

 been your constant aim to provide for 

 your children. As regards my character 

 j and disposition, I trust they are sufficient- 

 ly \\ell known to you to give you confi- 

 dence in the prospect of your child's hap- 

 piness. 



I have not, however, ventured on any 

 express declaration of my feelings, with- 

 out first consulting you on the subject, as 

 I feel persuaded that the straightforward 

 course is always the best, and that a par- 

 ent's sanction will never be wanting when 

 the circumstances of the case justify its. 

 being accorded. 



Anxiously awaiting the result of your 

 consideration oa this important and inter- 

 esting subject, 



I remain, tir, 

 Your most faithful and obedient servant, 



EDWARD L. SPRING.
