His office is No 11 Elm St Boston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;He will bring it to me at night and call for it in the morning. Have I credit enough with you to ask for an advance of $25? I have quite run ashore while waiting for a remittance from Washington. It is a novel and not a very agreeable feeling to be entirely out of money. It frightens me. You should have seen me hang my head this morning when I begged a few days' grace of the expressman. It was an awful moment.— So have mercy upon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 2] &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a poor improvident +++, who has an unfortunate propensity to spend faster than she earns.
