These are the just claims with which we have come
before you demanding to recover our money through your help, since we cannot get
it from these men themselves. Such is the statement of our case. These men,
however, while they admit that they borrowed the money and have not paid it
back, contend that they are not bound to pay the interest stipulated in the
agreement, but the interest as far as Rhodes only, which they made no part of their contract, and to
which we have not consented.
