We were sorry to find, on receipt of yours of the -- inst., that you
had occasion again to find fault with the goods lately furnished.
Some parcels forwarded to you were done so by inadvertence. We
should be sorry to lose your custom, and also grieved to hear you
had suffered any pecuniary loss. We are perfectly willing to agree
to such a reduction in price as you, in your integrity, think fairly
just.
We remain,
Sir,
Yours obediently,
A. O----.

_To a Theatrical Manager._
Shoreham, September, 187--
SIR,
Having seen in the _Era_ of last week that your theatre opens in a
fortnight, and that a "General Utility Man" and "First Walking Lady"
are wanted, I beg to offer the services of Mrs. A. and myself. We
have filled the same places in many theatres (our last engagement
was in the North). We have also been very frequently employed in
arranging and conducting amateur performances. I trust to hear in a
few days, as I leave this next week.
I remain, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
H. ADAIR.

_From a House and Estate Agent, acknowledging receipt of a
Communication relative to Sale or Letting of a Property._
84, Crane Street, London, Nov. 14th, 187--
MADAM,
I am obliged by your favour of yesterday's date, notifying that
Treverne House will be vacant next month. I am sorry to say, things
remain very bad here, and I find few purchasers at high prices. See
my last letter respecting the offer made by Mr. Townsend. I gave you
information about selling prices, and I do not see much improvement
in the ideas of buyers at present. By the way, there is a small
account of 4_l._ outstanding against you on my books, which
doubtless you have overlooked. Will you kindly remit it? and please
say if I am to take any step beyond placing Treverne House on my
list, to sell or let.
I remain, Madam,
Yours faithfully,
THOMAS OLIVER.
Mrs. A. Morgan,
18, St. George's Road, Hanover Square.

_A Gentleman to a Friend, relative to a Bill._
Tangel Lane, May 25th, 187--
DEAR ROBSON,
I had a note from Mr. B---- this morning relative to our bill for
50_l._ I am very anxious about the matter. Will you call to-morrow,
and bring as much money as you can collect? I am afraid he is
inclined to be very disagreeable. I will do all I can.
Yours ever,
J. F. T.
