To the Honorable the Governor of Kentucky.
Dear Sir.

I have the honor to enquire if you have official knowledge of one Wilkins Warren, being a Fugitive from Justice from Bath co. Kentucky where he is charged with the crime of Murder, said to have been committed in the Spring of 1865. If such be the case will ^you^ do me the honor of so informing me and in addition thereto, if such be practicable, please furnish me with the name of the victim, and also of some of his friends. The matter was mentioned to me an hour ago, and I do not desire to move in it until I am aware of its breadth

Will you do me the favor of an early reply.

Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
Charles R. Smith
Late Deputy Prov. Marshal
