Thos. Ruffin Esqr.
Sir
The garnishes to Boston Sharp John Coe and Jacob Friddle have been served viz one garnishes citeing them to appear at your next county court. at the instance of Jarvis & West the amount (illegible) them.
[F?] notes on which is a balance of $805.08 originally payable to M Jarvisnote taken up at Bank 966.73 interest on [debt?] 3.19 [underscore] ------------- $1775.00
I also garneshed them [cross out] at the instance of Jarvis West & Co and on my individual acct and have had them before Justice Holt. and received the following information.
The amount due to John Sharp by John G. Coe is $430.91
In making up his exibit he has however charged a considerable item the [underscore] payment of which he anticipates [end underscore] - viz $229 with compound int. making it not far from $250. which amount he [underscore] had rect at that time paid [end underscore] but says that as he is [underscore] security [end underscore] he [he?] [underscore] shall have to pay it. [end underscore] I have supposed that this could not be allowed. add the amt to the above [underscore]____________ $680.91 due [cross out] [1?] Sept. 1823 & 24.
Boston Sharp owes as per his statment $697.94 due Jany 1825. 26 and 1827.
In his estimate is an item which I suppose questionable _ ammnting to ______[underscore] 140
$837.94
Jacob Friddle
Owes payable in installments of 175$ per anum due 1822. 3. 4. 5. 6. & 1827 --- to the amt of 1200. [underscore] $2718.85
As nearly as I could assertain from then the ammt previously garnushed in their hands is about $600. which leaves a ballance of about $2100. funds that I am correct in deducting those two items from this acct, if other wise this ammt [illegible] standing from [illegible] 250 from Sharp 140 and }$550 about $160 from Friddle -- aggregate Which would reduce the amount to $1550 I do not mean to be understood as giveing any opinion reletive to the items alluded to about - but mearly to put you in [illegible] of the facts.
The notes payable to [Mary?] Jarvis Jr were neglectfully sent from him without the necesary endorsment to Jarvis & West. though they are and have been for 12 months the property of this concern - I therefore filled up this attachment in the name of Jarvis & West - by return of the mail they shall be forwarded to you which will be in time for your court. When this business shall have gone before the court and a sufficiently leisure moment is as allowed [of?] do us the kindness to communicate the result. and Always Enclosed is the note for Aglili 73 Jas [illegible] John Spencer West
I will take the liberty of leaving with you papers in which I took out the attachement in favor of Jarvis [illegible] viz a note in which is due $9.40. and that is my form - 2 Judgments [illegible] which I was security and have paid the amount being $74.18 In all probability there will not be more than enough to cover the large claim. hope there will not be troublesom to you.
