roughly for giving certificate in reference TO the rel
alive merits of Nanny and McCormicks machine. be
says al am truly sorry for the gentleman, that he
would undertake to give such certificate after taking
off his harvest with the Nanny machine and taking
good care to cut his meadow before he gave up the
machine" &C., making theimpresson that have act
ed badly in this matter Now these the facts IN
the case Mr.. Samuel Cline and myself were to take
both the Nanny and the Mccormick machine on trial
and keep and pay for the preferred, but because
Mr. Cline happened to express himself satisfied before
we had a chance to test both machines, Mr. Weller
would not let give up the Nanny but held us bound
to take his machine, which were compelled TO DO
We offered him thirty dollars to take it back which
was refused Just before gave the certihcate COM
planned of Mr.. Cline agreed to pay for the machine
without further trouble, condition that he would
sell the machine and to bear half the loss, 80
asian honorable man am still bound to MIR. Cline for
half of the machine which is as good now as any that
