The humble peticon of Walter Pake Sheweth That yo^r peticon^r

Commenced a Suite against John Hammond at a Co^rt held the
twenty third of March in the yeare of our Lord 1654 for payment
of a plantacon Sould by yo^r peticon^r to the said Hammond It was
then ordered by the said Courte that wee should putt it to Arbitracon
whereunto wee Entred into Bond But the said Hammond would not
suffer the party chosen on his side ever to meete, Soe that yo^r
peticon^r hath been delayed from tyme to tyme and never could
receive any Sattisfaccon for the said land which is very much to
yo^r peticon^rs dammage Yo^r peticon^r conceiveing noe Land can be
alienated without some deeds vnder hand accknowledged in Courte
and consideracdn receiued for itt And yo^r peticon^r hath not receiued
satis faccon as yett.
Therefore yo^r pet^r desires an order ag^t the Attorney of the said
Hammond, whoe is M^rs Anne Hammond either for payment accord-
ing to Bargaine or for his land in kind with Costs of Suite and
damages for this long forbearance And yo^r pet^r shall pray &c.
