Following these, are the words 'value received. Now, my notary tells me that these words make this absolutely safe, so that I know what it means in coin to me at this day, or a year from now. Is it not so, Monsieur Fraslin?" The Jew reached out his hand, took the note, and peered over it in close scrutiny.
