he asked for. When he came to settle the
account, however, he found that he had
not sufficient money, so he asked the mer-
chant to write note from his dictation to
his wife, which he would send to his hotel

5000 pounds of wool, contracting it at
from thirty five to thirty-eight cents per
wool he was long ago offered 81 per
pound, and refused it.
