                Devonshire Terrace
                                Eighteenth May 1844
                                                Saturday
My Dear Fred.   I wish you would see this man, today, or this evening. You will observe he has moved.
                If he be really in the distress he states, I shod be sorry to refuse him another Sovereign. If you have one in your pocket, give it him (being thoroughly satisfied); if not, I will send it to him after I have spoken with you at breakfast tomorrow.
                But I have some doubts of him. Do not be taken in. If I could establish it for a fact that he has imposed upon me, I would have him up to Queen Square forthwith.
                I hope you are not going behindhand in money matters. Besides my ten pounds, I am told there are five pounds due upon the Lewisham account.
                Affectionately Always
