DENVER, COL., June 30, 18--.

JAMES C. ADAMS, Esq.,
Great Bend, Kansas.

_Dear Sir_: Allow me to remind you that your account with me
has been standing for several months unsettled.

I should not even now have called your attention to it, were
it not that in a few days I must meet a heavy bill, and must
rely in part on your account to furnish me the means.

I would, therefore, esteem it a great favor if you would let
me have either the whole, or at least the greater part of your
account in the course of a week or ten days.

Thanking you for past favors, I remain, Sir,

Yours truly,
A.R. MORGAN.

_Dear Sir_: In reply to the above advertisement I would

I am 19 years of age, have a good education, and have had some

In reference to salary, I leave that with you, but feel
certain that I could earn five dollars per week for you.

Hoping to have the pleasure of an interview, I remain,

Respectfully,
HENRY OTIS.
