Ford the annual payment of three hundred pounds current money of
Pennsylvania till the whole debt be discharged then the said
property aforesaid is all to be reconveyed to the said Thomas
Barnett again. But if the said Thomas Barnett do fail to make the

said Eyrs shall think fit to satisfy the same and the said Richard
Ford has reassinged the said Bond to Thomas Barnett again as he may
do the best he can to recover the money due on the bond aforesaid
