Williams, J.
(concurring)—Although I concur in the result, I do not find a promise to pay either expressed or implied in the Mottola letter which is the only evidence on *233the point. Rather, I see an acknowledgment of the debt with an attempt to pay it by transferring a credit owed to the Mottolas by a third party. Because of the confusion in the case law, I would simply affirm on the basis that the Mottolas acknowledged the debt in writing which is all that RCW 4.16.280 requires to lift the bar of the statute of limitations.
Petition for rehearing denied September 28, 1977.
