Mr. Colby,

Dear Sir,

Yours of Feb 25th rec'd.  I am very grateful for the trouble you take for a stranger, and feel I should no longer trespass on your time and patience.

I was absent from the city when my friend wrote you.  I have engaged to stay here during the next four months.

Should you hear of one or more [[underline]] good [[/underline]] positions in Ark.
