Some time last yr. or the yr before
we forgit which Buck Henderson come
to us and wanted to borry so cts. from
us to buy a dog with. Buck said he
knowd where he could git fine dog for
50 cts. if he only had the money and
made stitch a poor mouth about the
matter that we felt sorry for him and
desided that if he needed a dog that
bad and couldn't git along without one
we would let him have the so cts
which we done. Well all this time
has elapsed betwixt then and this and
Buck amt never paid us back the so
cts. he owes us and to make matters
worse the blamed good for nothink dog
he bought which was a f1eabit hound
went and dide on him and now Buck
don't seem to keer whether he ever pays
us back the so cts. or not. This being
the case we hereby offer this acct.
which Buck owes us for sale for the
insignificant sum of rs cts. in cash and
whoever buys the acct. to git so cts.
from Buck if they can. We can't.
