saying that two classes of people want my Autograph, my Creditors to the foot of a Cheque, & my Debtors to a Receipt, the first do not value it so greatly as to retain it, & I get the document back at the end of the year, the latter frequently ask to have it by return of post, he sends a returned cheque commenting on the confidence of the payees in not presenting it for a fortnight, I never keep Cheques so long, 2 sides black-edged, Brookbank, Teignmouth, 9th August
