To thee, Mary Jaram,
The queen of my haram,
My cash and cattle,
With every chattel,
To have and to hold,
Come heat or come cold,
Sans hindrance or strife,
(Tho' thou art _not_ my wife,)
As witness my hand,
Just here as I stand,
This 12th of July,
In the year seventy ----

Signed, &c. W. HICKINGTON.
