In compliance with Timon's request, Tucker has made very active researches through town for a piano. Mr. Marilliano offered his piano which, although it is neither new nor first-rate, he pledges to be in good order. Tucker has seen it safely embarked aboard the steamboat Missourian. To expedite payment of the price, $150, tucker has endeavored to collect the whole amount due to the estate of the two Misses Roachford. He applied to Madam Riley who paid him $40 which was all she had in her hands. Tucker gave her a receipt, but she requested that Timon send her a receipt in Sister Benedict's name. The balance, she told him, had to be collected by Mr. O'Neal, so he urged O'Neal to make the collection before Father Joseph Paquin's departure. Since Marilliano is so anxious to have the money now in order to purchase another piano, Tucker has arranged with Mr. Walsh that if the money due from Madam Riley does not soon arrive, Marialliano may draw on Walsh for $60. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
