Thompson and Franklin Steele, of Minnesota, the eighteen pieces of Chippewa halfbreed scrip described in the annexed schedule-those designated C. W. T. from said Thompson and those designated F. S. from Franklin Steele, and paid and agreed to pay for the same from one and a quarter to two and a half dollars per acre. I located the said scrip at the time and on the lands specified in the annexed schedule, the value of which lands, respectively, I believe to be as therein stated.
