Dear Sir,
Enclosed you have statement of your account showing amount due me this date of $68 54/100.
I never was harder run for money than I am at this time.-- A note of mine from Philadelphia will fall due in bank in a few days & I lack considerably of the amount to pay it with.
Now if you can let me have the above amount, you will confer a great favor on
Yours Respectfully
