Application for a Loan. 



STRATFORD, July 27, '83. 



DEAR SIR I am temporarily embar- 

 rassed through the failure of my Toronto 

 correspondent to remit. The sum 

 000 would relieve my present necessities, 

 but I dislike borrowing moneyof profession- 

 al lenders, and would rather solicit the aid 

 of some one of my numerous friends. My 

 first thought was of yourself ; and, there- 

 fore, my object in writing is to ask if you 

 can spare me the required sum without 

 in any way interfering with your business 

 arrangements ? You may rely upon it re- 

 turned to you on the 15th prox., and 

 perhaps before that time. Pray reply at 

 your earliest convenience, and oblige 

 Your obedient servant, 



GEORGE WHITE. 



To PHILIP BROWN, Esq. 



Reply in the Affirmative.

DEAR SIR Your letter of yesterday was 

 duly received, and it gratifies me to be 

 able to say that you can have the loan 

 asked for. Inclosed you will find a check 

 for the amount, which you will return at 

 the date named and oblige, 



Yours, very sincerely, 



P. BROWN.

 maturity, owing to a combination of cir- 

 cumstances adverse to my interests, and 

 not anticipated. If you will do me the 

 favour to renew it for ninety days, with 

 interest added, I do not doubt my ability
