the Commercial Arrangement, we beg to state 
that we desire now to renew the question of 
the postponement of the third and fourth in¬ 
stalments, on the score of friendship.— E . I 
request you will state to me distinctly what 
your wishes are upon this subject.

the third and fourth instalments, as heretofore 
arranged.— E. If you mean to say that you 
expect me to defer the payment of the third 
and fourth instalments unconditionally, and 
without receiving an equivalent from yon, I 
must plainly say, that I will not.
