From Jane Hogan   18th Oct 64¹

37 Stanley Street | Macclesfield | 18^th Oct 64

Sir,

I received your note² this morning, to say you will kindly lend me the two pounds. I shall indeed be most grateful to you for I am very much in need of it now. I shall if I am spared repay you soon. I am now in lodgings and am very anxious to remove into a small house for I find it impossible to get on, the longer I am here, the greater my difficulties become, it will be so much cheaper and better for me to go into a little house. If you can kindly lend me the money by return I shall be deeply grateful, it will enable me to get a few articles of furniture and remove at the end of this week. I do not think there is any occasion to send my note to Mr. Ginty,³ he knows by this time of all the trouble I have had lately and my furniture gone, for I wrote telling them all. I expect some assistance from my sister before Xmas, perhaps by next Mail, I may get it, but that is uncertain, she promised to send me some near Xmas. I shall certainly return to you the money you have promised to lend me as soon as I receive help from them, at present, I am very much in want of it and shall be most grateful if you will kindly lend it to me. I must thank you much for your kindness.

I am Sir | Yours respectfully | Jane Hogan

I will feel most thankful indeed if you will kindly write by return for I have been in so much trouble for some time, I shall be so glad to get relief.
