pen..l.y of not eloceellug two years' imprisonment. A.
possibly the matter may take a hostile turn, I would
adviee you to be very oareful and look more narrowly
Into your effalra—more so than you have dose yet. If
you don't you may And yourself in trouble—more trouble
than you are in now. It may be tho creditor. hove
