Dear Faulkner, 

Will something like the enclosed do? I shall call here again 
before 7 o'clock. 

Yours

evening,” I should have been the first to make to you that apology 
which one Gentleman owed to another under the circumstances, if 
you had not at once taken such steps as precluded me entirely 
from doing so. Indeed I at once requested a friend of mine to call 
upon you for the purpose but when he arrived it was too late. If 
Mrs Daniells as I hear feels aggrieved at anything I may have said, 
I should be very sorry not to withdraw most emphatically any

not the honour of knowing and upon whose character it could

therefore never enter into my intention to cast the slightest 
imputation. 

As to the other matter between you and me, I am only sorry 
that it ever should have occurred and am prepared to pay to you 
£30.—in the shape of compensation. 

I am Sir 
Your obedient servant
