The Adventures of Harry Franco V2

I liked this proposition very well; for the rate of interest which he offered me, would pay my daily expenses, and I could select some lots, either from his city or from Mr. Worhoss’s, at my leisure. But I felt a little delicate about receiving collateral security, from a gentleman of Mr. Dooitt’s wealth, and liberal feelings; so I told him if he would give me his own note, and name in it the rate of interest which he proposed to pay me, to guard against accidents, I would not require the collaterals.
