The portion of this page pertaining to William Galt reads:
"Acct. & have nothing more to do with him, he appeared to be much surprised, & a more anxious Man, you never saw, than he was, to have me continue my dealings with him, however I told him, I was much vexed at my last Years % & that I could not deal with him any longer and went up to Polloci, when I got there, he refused to furnish me with any article, but at the running rates, of course I could not engage with himn, as that was his mode of dealing, and fortunately as I thought, when returning, I met D. Ragland who told me, that W. Galt called him in, & told him to indeavor with me to take my Goods of him, if he should meet with me, I accordingly went the Old Man told me that I must not leave him, that he would be bound I should have no fault to find with my % after taking them up, he assured me that I should my price Goods a 100 from the prime cost and gave me 33/6 for my Tob. Which was 16 more than any other person would give, & I could not tell where to apply, after leaving Polloc, Ragland is pleased with the Goods. Give my kind Love to my Dear Little Willm A Bolling and tell him in addition to his Order (or rather request), I have sent him a Cap which hope will please and will be Delivered to him by W. Dudley Ragland if the Shoes Does not fit they can be changed."
