Near the end of the month, Intended Improvements Company receives a letter bearing the Crown seal. This letter notes that it has been nine months since IIC borrowed money from the Crown, and no real effort has been made to repay. You are reminded that you hold your trading license at the pleasure of the Crown, and her patience is wearing thin.
