My dear Sir
It is a great pity that you
that you had not explained this abominable
unbusiness like blunder of Blackwood's sooner
One line from you or any of your clerks would
have done it. I wish you [would] not suffer the
note to be dishonoured What is it to you though
a few copies of the Brownie is to sell? If you would
wind it up it would enable me to get a final [settlem-]
-ent somewhere which I am sick to get accomplis-shed
for I have followed your example in chusing
an agent and [gone] likewise to Oliver & Boyde. The
latter is a man of business. For God's sake Mr Murray
accept the bill and if you will not wind up the
edition of the Brownie [lay] it [¿] the mistake has
been made I will cause O. & B. to account for it
at your next settlement. I am exceedingly vexed
at what has been done but you see it was not
my blame. I have Blackwoods own letter urging
me to draw on you for the [sum]. The man must
be a perfect [stump]. I inclosed him Mr. Glynn's letter
and wonder what he will say I expect he will
deny it. I have no patience with him now.
What is the reason that you will not
write to me now? A half dozen of times would
do my heart good. I wish I may never have
to write a friend about money again for I see
it puts them out of humour. I remain
Dear Sir
Yours most affectionately
James Hogg
