Summary
Promising to settle a debt; saying "The best thing on these occasions is to pay the money; the next best, to give an immediate answer; and I am sorry to say that the second best is all that is now in my power. It is not affectation to say that, although I now perfectly recollect the circumstance, I had really forgotten it, & that I am very sorry you did not remind me of it at some period when money was not so very scarce a commodity with me as at present. I promise you I will not again forget you and that I will settle the thing as soon as possible."
