These papers are important because they demonstrate the business transactions, disputes and dispute resolution of our local populace mid nineteenth century. As we see in our diaries, loans between family, friends and neighbors were common, and Henry participated in them, both as lender and as referee between neighbors when disagreements arose. We hear all the time about how litigious our society has become. If these papers are any indication, it used to be worse. These little fragments give us a glimpse into the fine details of our ancestral population, and they are recorded in no other place. It is a genuine gift that these have survived. .
Where you see a reference to a Filename, that is the transcriber's reference to the name I gave the document image when I scanned it. It helps us keep this project straight and on track.

Dr Sir
I recd yours making inquires about Mr. W. W. Sittle – I have hitherto considered Mr. Sittle a good business man. And as prompt in his business as the average office man –
I called upon him today – and made some inquires – He said he had some Geese from you which he ???? of return for as soon as sold. The entrails being drawn from them, he said was an objection, which precludes his selling them sooner – I think him good, though. Perhaps in this case not quite up to the marks in promptness .

Dear Sir
Your fan ? of the 5th unit was read this evening on my return from
Pine Creek.
The note of which you send a copy is a judgment note, containing a sufficient warrant to authorize the entry of a judgment on it by the Prothontory.
It does not appear from the guaranty on the back of the note to whom its collection was guaranteed as there is no name mentioned in the contract of guaranty. You say the contract was made with Asa Slingerland and that suit is now brought upon it against the guarantor ?????? Smith in his (Smith’s) hand. This is wrong. The guaranty is not negotiable and suit on it can be maintained only in the name of the party to whom the guaranty was made. This is a legal rule – as binding on you in your judicial capacity as it would be on me were the case before me in the ??????? Pleas. I am not aware of any law which would authorize you to amend the record by the substitution of Mr. Slingerland’s name as plaintiff for the use of the Smith’s. I think the objection fatal and if Mr. Smith doesn’t see fit to discontinue the suit, you should fine Hutchinson a new suit upon this plea.
The note was served in time and due diligence used to obtain judgment and to willful payment by process. The unstalling return of the goods has presented fair evidence of the defendant’s insolvency, and in the absence of contradictory proof would be sufficient to charge the guarantor with a breach of the guaranty. I do not think however that it would be worth charging. He would be permitted to show that the dept. had property subject to execution out of which the money might have been made by the exercise of ???????? diligence on the part of the Staff or officer. If the property was kept concealed or was not in the defendant’s possession and not known to the party or officer as belonging to the defendant I apprehend that the proof by the guarantor that dept. had property th?? se????? or not in his possession would not discharge him from liability in his guaranty.
Excuse ???????
Very truly yours or
B. G. White
I am not in the practice of answering questions affecting cases which may possibly come before me. This is one of that kind. And of course you will regard this letter as intended for your eye alone.

And Whereas, I, the said Henry B.

When treason’s dark cloud hovers black o’er the land,
And traitors conspire to sully her glory, When that banner is torn by a fratricide band, Whose bright, starry folds shine illumined in glory, United we stand for the dear native land, To the Union we pledge every heart, every hand! And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, While the land of the free is the home of the brave! By Miss Stebbins. |
