I called over at Orrs to get some potatoes for myself the next day and Miss Ogelvey [Ogilvie] was in a great way and so was Mrs Orr about some cattle, 20 head that they said Alexr told them could run on that place at the rate of £1 each a year, and they said on the strength of that they bought them & put them their but they said that Mr Williams had called their and told them that they would have to pay at the rate of 1/ per week or £2.12 each a year and that Williams also said that Alex told him he never made such a bargain.
