Absalom Peters and Christopher Brown mutually agree that all the property in 
our possession excepting the two yearling heifers, and a few articles belonging 
to Lydia, the wife of said Brown, shall be considered the property of said 
Peters.  All of which the said Brown hires of said Peters for one year and 
engages to pay fifty dollars rent for the farm - and the interest of the value 
of all the other property as it shall be estimated by Henry Otis or others who 
may be agreed on.  Said Brown agrees to pay all the rates which may be assessed 
on the property, to keep all the things in good repair and in good plight, and 
for the consumable stuff, he is to return equal in weight, quantity and 
quality.  And the said (Brown) agrees to board said Peters all that part of the 
year which he will reside in Lebanon, accomodate and wait on him as kindly, 
carefully and handsomely as he has done for three years last past,- for a sum 
per week which shall be deemed just and honorable by said Otis or others who 
may be agreed on by the parties.
