Frederick W. Hatch to Nicholas P. Trist

My dear Sir—

Aug 28th—26—

I have been of late most wofully press’d & harrass’d for a little of “the root of all evil”—almost, I have fear’d, even to a Constables Ticket. Otherwise I would not come to you for relief at this time—Can you not make shift to help me in this extremity?—I should esteem it a particular favor—

Very Respecty

F W Hatch

PS—

I shall be out of town occasionally for the present week—but ye P office will bring me any thing from you.—
