Chapter I

497, Jubilee Row,
B’ham,
19.7.’99.

Dear Sir.--We must respectfully press for the payment of our
account. The terms upon which the ammunition was furnished were
strictly cash, and, as you will see by the terms of our letter
of the 15th last, we cannot tolerate any further delay. If we
do not hear from you relative to same by next mail, we shall be
compelled to put the matter into the hands of our solicitors.

Yours, &c.,
JOHN STANDFAST,
Pro Karl Biffenheimer and Co.
