I Perley Haynes owe the following among other Debts which I am unable to pay viz
  To Marion Shaw (on E. & S. about)  $25.00    Ephraim Abell (50 P. L. S.) kind interest  185.00    W. Gordon on Note  16.00    To C. Davis B. Kelpatrick & sundry others  30.00     186.00  
There is due to me from S. Haynes on Note & sundry small balances of Baxter account say 60.00 / 60
Leaving a balance of Debts against me of one hundred & twenty six dollars which is in part much less than the real amount — My wife lately deceased was heir to an Estate on which Administration is now pending — of this Estate after the Debts are paid there would belong to me or my Children thirty eight acres about six of which is under cultivation — This claim may be estimated at Fifty Dollars of which I expect to receive the annual income until my Children become of age who will be entitled thereto by right of inheritance — Not hav- -ing come into possession of any property from this source and it being a doubtful claim I have not estimated it of any value in my Schedule of Property — When received it may be estimated of the annual income of five Dollars
My Family is large and unable to support themselves Having had much sickness and adverse fortune to contend with I have no means of supporting myself or them but my own labors which is trifling — some little assistance from them the scanty additions exhibited in the Schedule herewith and the Bounty of my Country on which source I rely with confidence
