| Description | Dear Sir,
I have just time to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 19th, and to assure you that I ever hope to convince you that I will forego my own interest (which is the leading principle of a merchant) rather than give you just cause of ranking me with so numerous a set who have so unjustly availed themselves of your confidence; and altho’ appearances wear at present such a gloomy aspect, yet I doubt not your surviving and superseding every apparent difficulty and attaining your wishes, both with respect to yourself and children, which God grant is the most fervent prayer of yours most truly,
Wm. Matthews
The coach’s departure is at hand.
