My Dear Sir
Mr. C. Burnham goes down this afternoon to see you in reference to a matter of my friend Arvin, which he will fully explain to you — I should have gone with him to except that I am too unwell — From what I have heard of the case, it presents a just subject for Executive interposition, and if after hearing Mr. Burnams account of it, you agree with me, I would take the favor done Arvin as one to myself.
Yours Truly
James B Clay
