Final Clue And I Am Baffled

[FRAX]

Spectator 2641

1D - 9 letters - Someone inclined to accept loan for one finishing paper

The letters I have are 

_AL_N_RED

Any help much appreciated.

[nescio]

Are you sure all the letters you have are correct?

I cannot find a word with them

[DTCwordfan]

if an r and not an l - partnered.

[Lie-in King]

Best I can see is -

Calendrer (one finishing paper) - 'carer' (one inclined?) to accept 'lend' (loan)

Thank you all for taking the time to help out. I have gone for calendrer.

[Lie-in King]

You're welcome & I hope it's right.  Can you reconcile the 'D' ok?  Perhaps someone that does the puzzle will corroborate 🙂

[Neveracrossword]

The D at the end is wrong, it should have been a R (to start the  answer to the across clue). I no longer have the full page, clues etc.

[FRAX]

Thanks again to all who have responded.

Lie-in King and Neveracrossword - you are correct - the final letter should be an R.

 

Thank you all.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Frax. I checked my grid and had Ramal for 31 Across - and I checked the clue again today, that was correct!
