a balance due Mr Goble of Six Dolrs. and two cent paid him which makes all square to this date. Robert made out a bill against Mr A Delf for Keep of sheep from the time their agreement expired to the third of October, for the sum of Two Dolrs. Twenty five cents. As there were three lambs to divide between Delf and Robert valued each at One Dolr. fifty cents each and as Robert has two of them he would owe Mr Delf Seventy five cents this would leave a balance of One Dolr and fifty cents due Robert, thus Mr Goble paid him so they are square to this date.
