Peter Robert writes that the sheriff will arrive tomorrow to arrest him if he does not pay an overdue debt to Mr. Robinson. He pleas with his father one last time to send up the money to settle the affair, and notes: "This has been an unfortunate affair as all this money & all the distress it has occasioned, is to pay a debt that has been of no use to me."
