Gov B Magoffin
Dear Sir
I suggested to you in a former note that the case of Adam W Harper was a hard one but that I supposed you would not relieve him until after judgements on account of the intents of the Comlths atty. I say now that so far as I am concerned that obstacle is entirely removed as I have given him a release of all benefits to me accrueing — From what I learn as well as from facts within my knowledge, I really fthink Harper's a proper case for your interposition. I gave up to Mr Harper for ^a^ trifle the part due me.
Truly yours
E L VanWinkle
