There is nothing Changing the Condition of the parties unless it be from bad to worse. And unless the Bail is Remitted the boys widowed mother will have to sell her little piece of land the last property she has to indemnify Those who at her instance This will Reduce her to extrem poverty and her little children

most Respectfully yours
J. R. Both
