Surry County Sept 16th 1799
Sir
I am willing to settle the law
suit between as was formerly proposed
to wit that I should relenquish my
Judgement & pay half the county Court
last, if you agree to this you may
have the suit dismissed accordingly
if not we must continue it of
course as no Witness either for
you nor against you will attend
this Court
[Heed?] Baker
