Hartfield is incompetent. He botched the complaint in omitting to make a special cause of action for quantum meruit on contingency, in valueing the same at 10000 instead of at 20,000. On the old complaint I cannot recover more than 6000, my own testimony. Hartfield is insincere, in not admitting his incompetency, He must be dismissed in time. 

Transcription Notes:
legal term: theory of quantum meruit. Specific Bluemner v. Garvin lawsuit is online. "valueing" appears to be misspelled, 3rd line from bottom.
