The amount may be small to you, but many of them means a considerable sum to us.

We do our best to pay our way along and as a person needs money to do it we look to those who are owing us for the different amounts to balance the accounts. Wo have a number of accounts which have not been paid and the parties are not making any effort to do so ; that we must hand these accounts into the Collects by the middle of April.
