Gov. Bramlette
Dr Sir
I understand a petition has gone up to excuse Saml Miles from payment of $3000 as security for appearance of Wm Miles indicted in Ballard County for Robbery — It is an outrageous Case & two of his comrades have been tried & convicted one 17 years (since [...]) the other for Jas Hudgins for 5 years Wm Miles has joined the rebel army & Saml Miles is also a rebel sympathizer — If there was any merit in the case I would say so — on the contrary Saml Miles & family have favored the escape of Wm & prevented recapture — he also tried to sell his farm to defraud the court & I restrained him from doing so
A similar case also exists in Ballard in forfeited bonds of 2 or 3 Lemons for hog stealing
yours &C
P D Yeiser
