SIR—I have to request that you will call for Mr. Jackson, Manager of the Union Bank, to prove that he discounted for me Bills for Mr. M'Glashan's accommodation, which Bills were retired by the acceptor; and that I exhibited to Mr. Jackson documents shewing that I held stock of Mr. M'Glashan's as collateral security.

Also that you will send for Mr. Douglas, Book-keeper to J. M. and Co., to prove that Mr. M'Glashan had received various payments from me for the accommodation of the borrower, which sums were repaid by him.
