On my return I was much surprised to find that your prices were so very much above the sum I proposed to expend for a set of double harness: however, I will consider the matter. A friend of mine who lately ordered a set of harness much the same as that which my coachman described to you, a.s.sures me that the charge for it was between 5_l._ and 6_l._ less. I will see you on the subject on my return from Rome.
Yours obediently,
JAMES HEATON.
Mr. ----
_Saddler, in reply._
3, Tanning Road, February 1st, 187--
SIR,
As I am sorry at any time to lose custom, I take the liberty of requesting you to defer your decision until your return, and if you will then favour me with a call I think I can show you sets of harness at a price that you will find moderate. I enclose you a letter which I have received from a coachman, from which you will be able to judge for yourself of the pressure put upon us by servants.
I remain,
Sir,
Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH TANNER.
James Heaton, Esq.
_Requesting the Renewal of a Bill._
Tipnor, February 4th, 187--
DEAR SIRS,
Having had great difficulty in collecting my accounts during the last half year (although I have strict a.s.surances that they will all, or nearly all, be settled by the end of this month), I find I am unable to meet in full my acceptance to you for 150_l._ 14_s._ 2_d._ Would you oblige me by holding it to the end of this month? I shall then be prepared to meet the same. An early reply will oblige,
Yours truly,
Messrs. Farren, Johnson, and Styles.
