Dear Bobby.
Many thanks for your letter. The bill is all right, & I shall be much obliged to the Dr. if he will pay it. It is for those things wh. I told you he kept me so long waiting for.
There is another bill I have in town, which I should wish paid in the same manner if it would not be too much trouble, to wit—
W & S. Ewart & Co
Wine Merchants
19. Swallow Street £13'12.0. London
You may ask this latter gentleman to send an acknowledgment, for I have known him send a bill twice over.
If this last commission should be troublesome, never mind it.
Good Bye | yours, | E. D.
P.S. | Let’s hear from you. Obs. The P.S. is as short as the letter & for the same reason, which I shall leave you to guess.
