Condition and agreement of John H. Cowden



Whereas I John H. Cowden hold the single Bill of William Forsyth, date of 

this date for one thousand dollars payable under

this condition not expressed upon its face, Whereas in the years 1842 and 

1843 I assigned and transferred to the said

William certain property and other matters in Tioga and Lycoming Counties, 

Pennsylvania out of which he realized nothing

but trouble to himself, and on account of which suits arose against him in 

Lycoming one at the suit of (?) Packer one at

the suit of the West Branch Bank at Williamsport.



Now if I the said John H. cowden shall have all those suits settled and the 

claims on which they were founded finally

disposed of, so that the said William shall be entirely discharged from all 

further liability or danger of liability on

account of the same or the costs of said suits and if I the said John H. 

Cowden shall agree and for value received I do

hereby agree to keep the said William entirely clear harmless and 

indemnified from all liability, costs, charges and

expenses, which shall or may at anytime hereafter arise, ensue or result 

from the aforesaid "assignment and transfer of

property and other matters in Tioga and Lycoming Counties" then the said 

single bill is to be paid, otherwise it is not to

be paid and further the said John H. Cowden shall not at any time claim 

anything from the said William on account of the

property and other matters assigned to him.
