I told him I would give it, and closed the bargain at once.

I finished up the hundred parts which I had got from Mr.Terry, exchanged cases with him for more, obtained some credit, and in this way made out the quantity for Mitchell.
The next summer I lost seven hundred and forty dollars by Moses Galpin of Bethlem.

Five or six others with myself trusted this man Galpin with a large quantity of clocks, and he took them to Louisiana to sell in the fall of 1821.

In the course of the winter he was taken sick and died there.

One of his pedlars came home the next spring without one dollar in money; the creditors were called together to see what had better be done.
