I Patrick Welch of lawful age on oath do testify and say that I had a conversation with Mr. James Lauders[?], some time last spring about the sale of one hundred bushels of oats by said Lauders[?] to Seth W. Smith. I asked Mr Lauder[?] how many oats he sold Smith & how much Smith paid for them. He replied "I sold Smith one hundred dollars worth of oats and received my pay for them", & that the receipt would show how much I received.
