Registrar &c.,

Dear. sir:-

I am reluctantly forced to ask one last favor you;- I am and have been for some time back serious financial trouble, and to extricate myself I require to raise four hundred dollars. Now, I am going to ask you to assist me in getting this for unless I have it inside of a couple of days I shall lose all I have in the world. I do not ask you to give me the money, but to let me have your note or your endorsement for the amount. I can secure you with property of one kind or another worth over double what I ask and am willing to assign everything, I have to you as security. I have tried hard for the past 3 or 4 weeks to arrange this without troubling you, but the time come when further delay means simple financial ruin to me. You may be sure that nothing. but extreme necessity compels me to ask this - Please do not fail me. I ask it of your friendship, and you may be sure I shall leave nothing undone to show my gratitude.

Yours truly,

J. E. Stanton
