I also gave a note for your new sofa, chairs, and French bedstead, because I had no cash with which to pay the bill.

It was two hundred and fifty dollars, and the note given at four months.

That also fell due to-day.

Now, apart from these, I had more than my hands full to take up business paper, this being an unusually heavy day.

At every point where I could do so I borrowed; but at half-past two o'clock I was still short the amount of these two notes.
