Handwritten notes in ink discussing the case of Cochran, McLean & Co. v. H.R. & B.S. Hooper.  The facts of the case are as follows:  On March 2, 1871, Baldwin placed an order with Cochran and underneath the order, Hooper wrote, "Please fill this order for my friend Baldwin & Co.  They are good without doubt for anything you can sell them, or I would not have insisted on the order for you.  We are willing to endorse them."  Thereafter Cochran filled orders for Baldwin regularly, and Baldwin was punctual with payment until the Fall of 1872 when Baldwin failed to pay an amount due of $2600.  Baldwin thereafter filed for bankruptcy, and now Cochran seeks to hold Hooper responsible for the $2600 amount owed on the theory of a continuing guaranty.
