Walter L. Dent Collection, Book 2, Document 44A

Entry/Object ID

1986.001.0277

Scope and Content

1 document ; 8 5/8"w x 9 15/16" h This is a confusing document. Francis I. Stone and Fannie Stone owed John Hall $6.00. They formally acknowledged this. They asked Walter Dent to order the return of a spotted hog of theirs, held by John Hall, the hog being worth $3.00. The next paragraph may say that if they repossessed the hog and then returned it to Hall, the debt is cleared. How a $3.00 hog magically becomes worth $6.00 is not clear to me.
