Scope and content
Requests a loan of fifty pounds due to the debts accrued by his recently deceased father. Gives a detailed description of the sorry state of his, and his family's, financial affairs, how his father came to lose such a large quantity of money, probably through poor investment, and how he intends to earn money by taking pupils to repay the debts. Asks to be recommended a curacy if there are any available.
