To Frederick Ransome [6 February 1866]1
[Down]
My dr Sir
I have been ill for a long time & have therefore not commun with you— Last Spring (in hope of forming a new Coy) you asked for delay in paying me the £100, which you promised as a final settlement of the loan of £250. I hope you are now prepared to pay it & finally settle the affair—2 I trust the Companies is more prosperous than when you last wrote & I beg leave to remain
