Somerset Ky
April 12^th 1864
Dear James

From information obtained from the Clerk of the Casey Court it turns out that instead of a bond of $2400 which the Gov^r remitted for Osburn, Bates & others the cases stand as follows on recognizances not on bonds

~~Commonwealth vs Wood Osburn & others~~= Mitchell ^1^ Bates principal. Thomas ^2^ Bates, John ^3^ Osburn, David ^4^ Osburn John ~~Fletcher~~ ^5^ Fulcher & Achilles ^6^ Evans surities recognizances for $200 and three cases.

<< 1 >
Let your remission cover three forfeited recognizances ^of 200$ each^ against the above six persons done at November term of the Casey Circuit Court -- ~~then~~ stating Michell Bates as principal & others as sureties

<< 2 >
One other remission covering Three forfeited recognizances of 200$ each taken at same term & court against the same six- except that Wood Osburn is principal isntead of Mitchell Bates.

<< 3 >
One other remission for 3 recognizances same court & time & persons for 200 each with William Osburn principal

<< 4 > One other ^remission^ same persons & Three recog. of 200 each with Josiah Evans as principal- & the other six as sureties

I would have you make out these four remissions of three in each [...] All filled up and ask the Governor to sign & then mail them to me at once as the court is close at hand

You observe it all amounts to 2400$ but not in the shape I had supposed & the remission sent will not do as there is a fatal misdescription

Pardon the miserable pen & material that I am compelled to use this morning.

We are all tolerably well,

My regards to ~~the,~~ Governor with me as soon as you can,

Yours Truly
E L Van Winkle
