your Petitioners would respectfully & earnestly petition you to release M. S.

Cook to answer whatever Indightment or Indightments that might be found against him. They state that M. S. Hill is a clever, honest, hardworking poor young man & that it will break him up to have the debt to pay, that Cook ran off & the last that has been heard of him is in North Carolina, that Hill was unable to get him.
