Dear Sir

Your note of 10th inst is recd also one of previous date on subject of Commercial Bank stock- I found on inquiry that the Bank Stock would not be sold at any price & as money ^with which^ to pay what I owe is what I want it will not suit the purpose required I do not know that the Banks or any one of them are taking any paper Just now & if this is the case I had as soon hold your note as Mr. Thomas' note- If you find that you can dispose of his note or Bill to any Bank it should be done by all means; I would be willing to lose a small per cent to get the cash, myself

[Page 2]

If you could arrange to pay me a portion of the Amt due it would aid me just now, as I am really requiring money to meet my engagements —

I am Yours very Truly

R. Aitcheson Alexander

P. S.
I send you Mr. Thomas' letters (or rather two of them.) You sent me to see I think I have a third wh I will look up & hand you if it is needed- I should have written to you before but thought that I should meet you & so put off writing=

Yours &c
R, A A,
