a merchant tailor; owned three houses
and good business. A Murray Hill
dude got in my debt; could not get him
to pay me. l advertised the bill for sale.

then put the bill up in my shop with
note on it--bad debt for sale; he sued me
again for 5000. The judge at court
said it was libel, and an outrageous
libel. My lawyer and his lawyer now
own two of the houses / once owned.
After settled the cases l met the dude
with a suit of my clothes ON. then
licked him. Sued me for this, and for
this l now have a mortgage on the other
house. The only thing l got from this
one of the 400 was his measure. have

is this: would sooner have a bad debt
than good lawyer. I now sell for
