The conditions of the following receipt are that John V. Long, the party in whose favor it is drawn, immediately secure to his wives and heirs all the right, title, interest and possession of and to his homestead place and any other property he now possesses, or is in any wise owner of; and that he eject from off his premises any party or parties now in possession of said premises to the exclusion of his, the said Long's, family, as soon as he can consistently with his bargain, and that he move his own family back therein.

The reason for such conditions must be obvious to him; for does he not understand that, according to the present occupant's former statements and conduct, he would if he had the power, shed the blood of the Saints?

This is to witness that if the said John V. Long doth well and truly comply with the above-named conditions, this shall be his receipt in full for the sum of Thirteen Thousand and Twenty-four Dollars and Seventy-five Cents ($13.024.75/100) being the amount owing by him to me up to date, and acknowledged by him to be correct.

I will further state that it was my intention, had the said John V. Long been willing to have settled as proposed by me, to have secured his property to his family after having allowed him Six Thousand and twenty-four Dollars and Seventy-five cents ($6024,75/100) for services claimed by him to have been rendered.
