W A Menger Esq.

                       

Dear Sir

              For some time after I arrived here I labored under a severe attack of illness. I am now just recovering from it and have made my arrangements to pay you by the 20^th of the month. I am willing to pay a fair interest for the time. I have been derelict—say 12 p^rc^t. Please inform Maj Howard.

 

            In leaving San Antonio I left my saddle at your stable, please to send it to me by

[blank] who will hand you this.

 

            Also in my hurry I forgot to pay a small bill to the barber next your hotel. Will you do me the favor to ask him to send me the am^t & I will forward it. Best respects to M^r Klöke

           

Wishing you much prosperity & success

                                   

I remain dear Sir

your obtservt.

J. E. Love
