In 1818, Joshua Bunch and Robert Myrick entered into an agreement whereby Myrick would provide six hands and four horses and Bunch would provide one hand and oversee "the plantation business." Bunch would be entitled to one-fifth of the crops of seed cotton, oats, corn and fodder produced on the plantation. He estimates that he is entitled to $670, but Myrick has refused to pay him. Bunch now sues for $1500 damages. In two related answers, Myrick represents that a subsequent verbal agreement changed the terms of the contract. He agreed to provide Bunch with two additional hands for labor and Bunch's claim to his share of the crop would be reduced to one sixth.
