After Winston had entered into the contract, Stanly sent him word by Harlow, that if Winston was willing they would annul first contract, and he might cultivate the place on the same terms as Harlow. To this proposition Winston agreed; each found a horse & the crop was satisfactorily divided about December 1st 1868. Winston states that up to that time he understood he was to pay no extra rent for the house and that Stanley had never called on him for rent, altho: by the first contract $15 was due the latter part of June. Stanley demanded rent and was refused - When asked why he charged rent he told Winston, that it was because he had not made as large a crop as anticipated. Stanley brought suit for $15, which was given against Winston. The property of Winston has been attacked by the Constable, and he appeals to the Military for protection - Forwarded to Col Chalfin A.A. Genl 1st Mil: Dist, Decr 17th 1868.

Transcription Notes:
Entries are split in half across 2 pages with one entry on top portion and a different entry on bottom portion. I wasn't sure the proper method to display this, so I entered them as two separate entries as they appear and copied the header entries twice to indicate they are two different entries. -The one that is split really connects directly to the one on the lower right hand side (as if it were a ^ or insertion). ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-13 09:13:21 Removed blank row so table will format correctly in markdown software Smithsonian uses. still needs proofreading
