Description

Anderson has agreed that since Henderson is well recommended, he will take the load on Thursday and will be paid enough to provide sufficient security for the safe delivery of the goods. The Sheriff is keeping a sharp lookout for Phillips but so far he has not been found and the man sent to look for Phillips has heard nothing of him.
