Sir You do me injustice if you suppose me unmindful either of the [[underline]] many [[/underline]] obligations I have received at your hands (wholly undeserved by me save by distress) or the [[underline]] pecuniary situation [[/underline]] I stand with you. But I cannot conduct with impossibilities my present income which depends on [[underline]] contingencies [[/underline]] is barely bread for us. We have reduced ourselves to one Girl servant, and three in a bed. I have lost, since I [[underline]] first [[/underline]] had the honor of seeing you, two 90 £s a year by the death of one and the removal of another of Mrs Belson's daughters, by her first husband, The Honble H Grove, who died Collector, and of the Council of Dominica
