Governor McGoffin
Dear sir
The bearer of this Mr. John. W. Thomas will explain his business to you. He is reliable & trustworthy & would be a good agent to receive the fugitive from justice — He will take James H. Ogden with him who is also a very excellent person We are all anxious that the fellow should be brought to justice — He is indicted as Larkin but has changed his name in Ohio to J. T. Simpson
Yours & c
Jno B. Huston
