Hon. Beriah Magoffin
Gov. Ky
Dear Sir:

Col. McCreary has just handed me your order remitting $100.00 in the case of forfeiture agaist Geo. Stafford & Wm Tillett: We wanted the Remittance for $20000 as there were two cases. I think we spoke of both cases in our Petition. We will take it as a great favor to have the Remittance in both cases.

Yours with great
Respect
Willard Davis
Atty for Tillett
