Mr. Beavers also informed me, that when he purchased of you, & you gave him your Bond for titles that he gave you his note for the whole, or the balance, I do not recollect which, of the purchase money, and that the only thing he had to do was, as before observed, to produce the Plot & grant He also informed me, that he had been to your house with your Bond and the Plot and grant, and that you were from home, I presume, about the time you were at my place in Crawford County.

Under all these
