Q.

Did you ask Tick Kee to give you a receipt for the $250, which you gave him?

He said it would be alright to have the paper signed, and that it was proper, and that we need not put down the concrete. I asked him for a receipt, and he said there was no receipt written.

I consider them a receipt.

if you

7113

had not paid that $250 ↑

A.

They would not have been signed as proper.

A

A.

And you thought it was worth paying the $250, for the 7/14

sake of those signatures ?

Not that it was the worth of it - -

Well yes, it would

have been more than $250 for the house, if they had to
