Signed and sealed by Anderson, witnessed by Ann Fort and Chs Martindale, duty stamps. Endorsed with certificate by Tassell that the above-mentioned #2,200 forms part of #4,570 due to him on bond from Anderson, and that this assignment is a collateral security for the same, same witnesses. Further endorsed in pencil: 'Mortimers'.
