Elkton
Hon Thos. E. Bramlette
Dear Sir
Enclosed find the affidavits of Jas, C, Bryant, Jas, D, Christian (Sheriff of the County) and Dr. W. P. Prewitt touching the enlistment of John Bryant in the Federal Army and his death from wounds recd in the battle of Chicamauga- The witnesses are respectable reliable Gentleman and [we] have not the least doubt but the proof will be satisfactory and sincerely hope that you will remit the Judgment in favor of the Commonwealth vs James C. Bryant on forfeited recognizance for his unfortunate Son — he is a very poor industrious hardworking Man with a large family to support — for further particulars of this case we would refer you to papers heretofor filed in your office Since writing the above we learn that Dr Prewitt is absent from the town hence he has not made the affidavit with Mr Christian, but will if necessary Swear to the Same facts, as he made those statements to one of us- Let us hear from you at your earliest convenience-
Very Truly
Your friends
J. H. Lowry
