Sir

The fourth of November I was pressed
by M^r. Montgomorie for some Money, and not
having it by me, was obliged to draw on You
for £100, which shall take as a particular
Favour if you'll Honour. - You may depend
on it Sir, nothing but the utmost necessity
shall ever oblige me to draw; & when that
happens, hope You'll assist me, which shall
always be acknowledged as a great Favour
confered, on

Y^r. Most Obed^t. Serv^t.
