To a Friend, who had promised to lend a Sum of Money, to answer a critical Exigence, and drove it off to the last.
Dear Sir,
You were so kind as to tell me, a Fortnight ago, that you would lend me One hundred Pounds on my Bond, to answer a Demand that my Credit would be otherwise a Sufferer by. And you were pleased to say, you would have me look no further, and that I should certainly have it in time. I have looked no further, Sir; and the Day of Payment approaching, you cannot imagine how my Mind has suffered by being not absolutely sure of having the Money to answer the Demand. I hope, Sir, nothing has happen’d to make you alter your Mind; for, at this short Notice, I shall not know to whom to apply to raise it. In the utmost perturbation of Mind, for fear of the worst, my Credit being wholly at Stake, I beg your Answer, which I hope will be to the Satisfaction of, Sir,
Your obliged humble Servant.
