Dear [Harned],

Your note came to hand, during my absence from home. I hasten to reply, without consultation with any friends, as I expect to leave for Ohio on the morning train.

You are in the right place to work for ^James^ Ammerman. He is committed for trial at the April term of the Court. He is certainly guilty of forgery and will go to the Penitentiary, unless the Gov. Bramlette will pardon him. I understand that he is willing to go into the Army, if he can escape imprisonment.
none of the parties will interpose any objection, and if I were at home I could get them to petition the Gov. to that effect.

So get Gov. B. to interpose in his behalf before the trial, and take him into the battery.

No especial news about town.

June 16 additions to our church.

I go to Ohio, to purchase a home for Joel.

Very Truly
W. C Lyle
