The import of the three names subjoined to the document is 

 problematical. If they are witnesses, the fact that at least two of the 

 three names are feminine is of interest. 



Mooney's note is simply: ''Borrowd [sic] Money."

COMMENTARY 



This receipt is written upon a small slip of paper. Quatteh may 

 be the same person as No. 317 on the Terrell Roll (1860, p. 11), the 

 Quaitsey who was the mother of Ino:li. The one name is the 

 Cherokee form of 'Betty,' the other of 'Betsy.' Inodi's mother 

 was a widow and possibly lived with her son.''^ The mathematical 

 calculation, the significance of which is not evident, is in Terrell's 

 handwriting. 



Mooney summarized the meaning of the Cherokee: "I have paid 

 all I owe Talala."
