Newark, N.J., Dec. 25, 1900. Mr. James Jones,
Burlington, N.J. Dear Sir :
I call your attention to the fact that your account, which I enclose, has not been settled. I am reluctant to press you, but as I have some heavy payments to make in the early part of next month, I must request that you pay the amount before the close of the present month.
Respectfully yours,
John Adams.
1409 North Ninth St.,
Philadelphia, Pa. June 5, 1904. Mr. Thomas F. Smith. Dear Sir:
I feel obliged to remind you of the fact that you owe me $120 for three months' rent. You will remember that, according to the agreement, you were to make monthly payments; therefore, if the account is not settled within a week, I shall be obliged to place the matter in the hands of my lawyer for collection, as I cannot allow it to run any longer. Truly yours,
Henry S. Holmes.
Akron, Ohio, June 1, 1900. My Dear Sir :
Recognizing your well-merited and extensive influence in the commercial circles in your city, I beg to introduce to you Charles F. Pogle, who is desirous of obtaining a position with a mercantile house. He is a gentleman of capacity and ability. His character stands A 1, and he is as industrious as he is energetic. He considers New York a better field than this place, and prefers to try his chances there to remaining here. He can refer to me. Trusting that you will lend him a helping hand, I am, Yours, very truly,
James B. Marvel. Mr. Edward Fetter,
19 Park Row, New York.
