Sir,

I have the honor to call your attention to my letters which you seem to have overlooked and which I think [?] at least the courtesy of a reply.

Unless I receive the amount due to my by return of post I shall be compelled to have recourse to law though I should be very sorry to take any step of that kind.

I trust therefore to save any such proceedings you will forward the amount to Mr T. Hayward as requested. It is really too bad the way I have been trated through you not complying with the terms of the agreement made between us.

I have the honour to be
Sir
Your obedient servant

Geo J. Malcolm Stevens
