    Consider too, that he's coming clean about it

    it's very possible he let it go, because he didn't think it was a big deal to you.

    I say, once the check comes, in addition to going through the introspection Cary recommended: drop it.

    Drop the whole matter, and let it go.

    Seriously. What good does it do anyone to hold a grudge, to stay angry, to NOT forgive someone if they can?

    You (the original letter writer) wonder if you can let it go.

    I assert that you can, if you say you can.

    That doesn't mean go back into more biz arrangements; it just means not holding it against him. My $.02.
