Mr Williamson
My Dear Sir:
I think it is time, with my great necessities upon me, that Mr H should make a fair statement, as to whether he has acted in my case. This state of suspense is very painful to be endured - and if he considers himself a gentleman I am sure, he
will no longer practice this reticence towards me, especially in consideration of all his solemn promises. Please write to him, when you receive this. I must be soon apprised of the result of his efforts. I am suffering with chills & ill health & it is due me, Mr H should apprise me of results. Please write & oblige.
Truly,
Mrs L
