CASE OF MR. MACANDREW
33
Same to Same. My Deae Sic, — What a pity it that was you did not entrust the whole of that affair to me; I could have polished it off as smoothly as you please. I spoke to Morris to-day, and find that there was not the slightest necessity for all the stew in which you have placed both you and myself—there is no intention of reporting anything detrimental to you. Tours truly, J. M.
Same to Same. My Deae Sic, — I would have met you at half-past twelve punctually, but the fact is I am desirous of staving off an interview until it can be satisfactory. lam leaving no stone unturned, and will be able, I trust, to explain satisfactorily that it is no fault of mine that the matter was not arranged last week. Tours, J. M.
Same to Same. My Deae Sic, — I regret exceedingly that you should be so much annoyed about that little matter. The Oriental has promised to put me in funds, but I cannot well press them for it before they open, although Anderson told me he would meet my views as soon as he can get at the necessary documents from Ms boxes. I expect to see him every day —in any case I cannot be put off any longer than the opening day of the Bank. Tou can do nothing in the way of auditing your account for a day, or possibly two or three, and by the time the auditors are with you you may rely upon my doing the needful. Tours truly, Wednesday. J. M.
Same to Same. My Deae Sic, — The party who told you that I have been paying other people told you a gross falsehood. I cannot pay you to-day, and if you take the proceeding you threaten you only make it the worse for both of us. If you had only, or would only, leave me to manage matters, it would have been all right ere now, and would be so, indeed will be so still. Tours truly, J. M.
Same to Same. Mr Deae Sic, — I think I will manage, by hook or crook, to get Proudfoot's bill cashed on Monday. I have made a great sacrifice in order to close this to me more unpleasant business, than it can be ever to you, and it will certainly be strange if the sum named cannot at least be realized. Tours, J. M.
