I, Charles R. Whidden do testify & say that at sometime during the past minutes[?] I heard a conversation between Seth W. Smith and John Sebattis about the amoun tof money paid by Smith to Sebattis, to buy lumber &c for a home in 1857. They named the several sums paid Sebattis and they amounted to forty five dollars, & Sebattis said it was correct & that he had received said sum for that purpose or[?] ends[?] & that effect.
