[Footnote 1: The bill was Byron's for L1500, and the enclosure ran as
follows:

"Lord Byron.

"A Bill for L1500, drawn by Scrope B. Davies, lies due at Sir _James
Esdaile_ and Co's., No. 21, _Lombard-Street_.

"All Drafts intended for the Payment of Bills, to be brought before
Half past Three o'Clock.

"Please to call between 3 and Five o'Clock."

The same day Byron writes a second letter to Hanson:

"Do pray press Claughton, as Mr. D.'s business must be settled at all
events. I send you his letter, and I am more uncomfortable than I can
possibly express myself upon the subject. Pray write."]
