25 — To John Hanson

Harrow-on-the-Hill, 11 May, 1805.

Dear

Sir, — As you promised to cash my Draft on the Day that I left your house, and as you was only prevented by the Bankers being shut up, I will be very much obliged to you to

give the ready

to this old Girl, Mother Barnard

, who will either present herself or send a Messenger, as she demurs on its being not payable till the 25th of June. Believe me, Sir, by doing this you will greatly oblige

Yours very truly,

Byron

Mother Barnard was the keeper of the "tuck-shop" at Harrow.
