Know all men by these present that I, Joel Manning for and inconsideration 
that I am indebted to Reuben Anderson in the sum of two hundred dollars due 
by note for that amount dated on 24th day of February AD, 1834 and payable to 
the said Reuben Anderson on the 25th day of December 1835. Now in order to 
secure the payment of said note I do __by these presents bargain and sell 
unto the said Reuben the following tracts of land to wit: the South east 
fourth of the North east quarters in section ten Township eleven and range 
Twenty-one and the North east fourth of the South east quarter of Section 
three in the same Township and range situated in the said county and state in 
the Sparta District. To the said Reuben Anderson his heirs and assigns 
forever; to be said upon condition that the note above described is paid as 
it sales due, but if not paid then it shall be lawful for the said Reuben to 
enter upon the premises and there seize & sell at auction to the highest 
bidder after giving ten days notice of said sale by notice in the town of 
Monticello in the said county and applying the proceeds of such sale to the 
discharge of the note and expenses of said sale paying the balance if any

covenant to defend the said title so made on such sale against all person.
