Summary
The Answer, excusing the Pain he had given his Friend by his Remissness.
Dear Sir,
I will attend you this Afternoon with the Money, which I had always great Pleasure in the Thought of supplying you with; and I am most heartily vexed with myself, for giving you the Pain and Uneasiness that must have attended a Mind so punctual as yours, and in a Case so critically circumstanced. But I hope you’ll forgive me, tho’ I can hardly forgive myself. I am, Sir, as well on this, as on any other Occasion in my Power,
Your sincere Friend and Servant.
