July 29
Dear Sir
I have acted as Trustee & Treasurer to a Friendly Club for very many years, & we are now going to withdraw a sum (about £290) from the National Debt Office & I want to beg the great favour of you to act as my agent in withdrawing the money.—2 The Office informs me that an agent must be employed who resides in London, & I know not to whom else to apply.—3 On a former occasion your bank was so good as to act for me in this manner.—4 All that has to be done is to present the draft & 4 days afterwards the money will be paid you & cd be placed to my account; I will then send my Butler5 up to you for the money Hoping that you will grant me this favour | I remain yours sincerely
