(Manchester, 31 July 1862] 

Dear Moor, 

No doubt you will understand that, after the heavy outgoings 
last month, it will be impossible for me to get hold of £25 for you 
just now. I have postponed till August all heavy outgoings on my 
own account (LanpLapy and quarterly account), moreover, because 
of the bill, I have had to give Borkheim an order, which will 
similarly have to be met in August. I shall see what can be done 
before tomorrow. I still owe Lupus £10, and he will ask for it 
immediately on his return,**” which might be any day now. If you 

a The Bible (The Old Testament) 

add this to last month’s outgoings, you will see that it takes a tidy 
slice out of the new financial year. However, I shall see this 
evening how much will have to be paid out, and hence how much 
I shall be able to send you. 

If only I knew what the balance looked like and how I stand! 
But the day after tomorrow Charles* leaves for Warsaw, where we 
have incurred a bad debt, and then the whole caboodle will come 
to a dead stop again. 

Your 
F. E.
