Mr R. Abbott,
Rockingham County N.C.

Sir

As you are the authorized Agent of Mr Thos Ruffin, Peter Price and others have made complaint against you, that you have not settled fairly with them. 

I would advise you to settle with them as it will save yourself and others considerable trouble

Try and let them have a portion of their Corn to live upon, for a couple of weeks when the case will be adjudicated.
