N. B. This is subsequent to the loss of the paper by Mr. Herman.
[The Indorsement on the back of the Bill of Exchange being now shewn to Mr. Burgh he says]
This indorsemt is not my writing. I believe it to be Mr. Barbers, & I am confirmed n that belief by having made an extract from our book. But I have no doubt at all of it’s being Mr. Barber’s handwriting.
Mr. Barber is sick has bn confined to his bed for 2 days & tho’ he has got up today is not well enough to come to Court.
