Richmond Ky
Decr. 19th 1860
Dear Sir.

I concur in the Petition which will be provided to you, for the relief of the sureties of [...] Williams in those judgements upon forfeited recoginzances, rendered at the present Special Criminal Term of the Madison Circuit Court. At the time they entered as surety, no one had a right to anticipate Williams escape — His interesting & destitute family need all that can be saved from creditors. I am satisfied the sureties have endeavored in good faith to procure his recapture

Very Truly Yours
W C Goodloe
Judge 13th Jud. District.

His Excellency
Beriah Magoffin
