Containers:
Box 2, Folder 7
Scope and content:

To have transacted the business you mentioned, would have been impossible. The reason for my becoming indebted to Mr. Davis is. among the vices which prevailed at College in my time, gaming had its place. I lost a sum of money. I am shamed to say how much, to Mr. John Page. I have paid part, but he offered to wait for the remainder until it was convenient with me. Mr. Davis won a sum of money from John Page and knowing that I owed him money, he asked me if I would accept an order if he should get one on me from John Page. The terms were agreeable to all.
