Dear Sir

Yours of the 8th Inst. is received and I herewith enclose to you $2 for which be kind enough to send Receipt.

It appears that my friend Robert Richardson Esq. has misinformed you in regard to names

The case originally stood thus Comlth vs Ealine slave Wickliffe Grubbs and William Grubbs entered into a recognizance in penalty of $100 for her appearance in Boone circuit court,

Wickliffe Grubbs has since died

The summons now is against catharine Grubbs adminisratrix of Wickliffe Grubbs deceased & William Grubbs to shew why comlth. shall not have judgment for $100 on forfeited recognizance, and we ask that Govenor remit all but costs

How is my old friend Thos S. Page Esq present him my kindest regards, I trust you will attend to matters above speedily

Yours Verry
Respectfully
Milton Hamilton
