$5000, in the houses & lot which I agree to take back for that sum within a year?


$10 000, In 100 Shares Republic Pref. and 100 Common. These two are now worth - $8000, in the market and I guarantee them to be worth - $10000, by the first of April making good the difference [.]

On Sept 10th will deliver 100 Shares Biscuit Common worth $5000, If worth less on April 1st 1900 I will make up difference if worth more will expect to be [?] with difference.

Mortgage on interest in land for the $5000, at .06% payable in one year from Sept. 1st.

Until dividend is paid on Rep. Common Preferred & Biscuit I will pay invoices monthly on these two amounts at .06%.

Will also pay interest on the $5000, represented by house and lot at .06%. You now have mortgage to cover all the difference between the stock and houses and the $25000, which you can keep as it is until the new contract and mortgage is drawn?

This Memorandum is given until the papers can be fully prepared & sent to you on or before Aug. 1st 1899 [.]
