Mt. Sterling Ky. March 12^th
Col. Love

Our Circuit Court closed closed the last week in February — Two seperate returns on the bail bond of "not found" — that is as against the Securities of the same, in the Basquit Bond — having been made, I was, of course, entitled to a judgement against them, & not having heard from you any more, (contrary to promise made last fall) I took Judgement. So the case stands, & of course you can expect nothing els but that I will order execution to the respective counties of the securities. However, as I said once before to you in my letter, I will get you rid of the whole if you will send me my per cent — I appreciate under what peculiar circumstances you all got into it. — Aye, I will even do better — if you save me all further trouble — & take $100 — knocking off $50 — So send me a check for the same, & I will send you a receipt in full, when you can make your co-sureties contribute. Let me hear from you at once
Yours Truly
J. S. Dury, Com^th Atty.
