Dr Sir
Meeting Judge Johnson in the street accidentally must be my apology for preferring his request on the same sheet of paper on which your letter is. I dont know what could have been in my head to neglect getting his signature to the request except that perhaps I was in great haste or some thing of the sort I refer you to my other letter to you on the subject for any necessary particulars
Truly J R Dupuy
Reward of $750, for Squire Cable, Joseph & Ben Woods
for the murder of Jos Norton Jefferson Co.
Offered
