Dear Mr. Dowdeswell -

I really must^[3] have twenty pounds - and by Saturday morning at latest -

Can you let me have a cheque for that sum? Otherwise I must go off and leave my work again -

You see I promised to return what was loaned to me the other day - and [p. 2] I daren't go to lunch with you or I should do no more work 'the day'! -

Do write at once -
