Mt. Sterling Ky. Oct. 1st 1866
Col S. P. Love:
Sir

At our late court, Dury the attorney for the commonwealth admitted that the Judgment against you was irregular and that we could reverse it & consented that it should be set aside, and the order was directed to be made but by some means the clerk failed to make an entry of it & the records now show no such order. Dury is now absent at the Carter court & will not be at home for about four weeks, I am confident if he were here he would write to the sheriff to stop the collection of the execution against you, but as the sheriff of your county will not probably wait that long. You must either replevy the execution or get the Gov. to stay it for six months

Neither of these steps will prejudice you in your rights to reverse or vacate the judgment, do so & I will take the case up and reverse it. but I will not be able to get the record copied for some two or three weeks & it will be the best to either replevy

or stay the judgment. The reversal will vacate the replevin bond &c

Yours
Thomas Turner
