Sir/
I now address you (not being at present engaged) to offer you my services, to bring your Books up and place your accounts &c in order from the day I left Regent St. to the end of this Month (March) should you think proper; and I shall be willing to do the same for what you offered me before Viz. 10/- pr week; but I could not possibly go up to Regent Street twice a week for the same salary – the charge therefore for the work for 15 Weeks will be £7– 10/- –
I remain Sir Your obedt: sert:
Tobias S. Telfer.
