My dear Friend
Your letter of 17th inst was duly received and contents noticed, since which time I have used my utmost exertions to procure for you the amt named. But I must say I have been unsuccessful and know not how to get it in time for you as my Friends are all short here at present. and I cannot get the money just now even at at a considerable sacrifice. But I will promise you that if you can get M Sherman to wait a short time. It shall not be long before you receive the amt. It gives me to the very start to think I am compelled to disappoint you and many sleepless nights have I passed in consequence. The reason why I did not reply to your letter at once was that I wished to try all ways before I could give you a decided answer. I will now repeat that you shall not wait long.
In great haste
Yours most truly
W. S. Hanford
