I demanded U.S. funds of the said agent but he positively refused paying such. I then required of him Huntsville bank notes , which were considered about 10% better than Tenn but he even refused to pay me in that paper and concluded by saying that if I would not take the Tenn notes I might go unpaid as he had drawn that description of money to pay the pensioners which I very reluctantly received as I lived in Mobile where it was of little or no value. .1 do also further certify that his money was paid me in the bank of Huntsville and in the presence of the cashier, who in my presence requested COL. POPE. Given under my hand 25 February 1824 WILLIAM PARKER Certified by THOMAS HUMES, J.P. 282 - (3582)
