“ Gillman gives this spring, such as plows and cultivators.' The letter from Gillman dated March 9th, referring to his previous order, is in fact a new order of that date, and evidently made under and in pursuance of the guaranty of the defendants. All the goods delivered to Gillman by the plaintiffs for which suit is now brought against the defendants were delivered during that spring, and were delivered after the receipt of this guaranty. The court was right, therefore, in not permitting the defendants to explain or qualify that guaranty by the parol testimony which they offered. ”

“ The suit was founded on the following instrument in writing, signed by the defendants:
'SIOUX FALLS, D. T., March 9, 1878.
'Moline Plow Co., Moline, Ill.-SIRS: We, the undersigned, are acquainted with Peter Gillman, of this place, (formerly of Fond du Lac, Wis.,) and have no hesitation in indorsing him as an honest, capable business man, and deserving of confidence and credit. We think your informant, in regard to Mr. Gillman's business ability and capacity, was in error, if not selfish and malicious. We will satisfy all orders Mr. Gillman gives this spring, such as plows and cultivators. ”

“ These are all the assignments of error worthy of attention, and the judgment of the supreme court is therefore affirmed.
