Jamestown Ky. March 28^th 1862
A J James,

D^r Sir. I inclose to you the Gov^rs pardon to George W. Collins for correction of clerical errors. Please do me the favor to get the Gov^r to erase the word "Russell" & insert "Clinton circuit court, and erase "$50" and insert $75. & it will then be all right. If he will look at the petition he will see that the Judgment was rendered in clinton cty & for $75. if I recollect right. I want also a copy of a 50 acre patent to John Mchenry, in Wayne Cty. on waters fall creek, and Joining a 322 acre grant to James McHenry if I recollect the No. of acres in Jas. McHenrys grant correctly. I owe you 50 cts. for copy Bankrupt certificate to Frank Webb. I asked McClure to pay it & to pay for the copy of this 50 acre grant. I have just landed from Somerset & have not seen McClure, to learn whether he pd. it or not & am compelled to write by todays mail to get the patent by the Wayne Court, which is all important as $900 is tied up upon flimsy objections to land titles. If McClure has not paid I will inclose the money immediately. Please dont fail to have the pardon corrected & remail it to me your friend
