Would like to rent the piece of land at Upton, lately occupied by Mr. Davenport.
Is in financial difficulties, about to quit the farm, and would be grateful for a loan of £300.
Is grateful for his help. Encloses note.
Sorry to hear of JL's financial misfortune. Must delay responding to JL's request until JH confers with JH's wife.
Offers to loan JL £300 without interest or collateral to meet 'unjustificable severity' of JL's landlord. Tell JL's son to call on JH to discuss loan and unsatisfactory condition of the Merke [Herschel family's farm property].
