Henderson April 4 1861.
Dear Grant

I have written to the Govr today informing him of the murder of Dr Norwood & requesting him to offer a reward & c. I wish you would see him as soon as you receive this & try to induce him to offer as large a reward as he thinks consistent with circumstances and his duty & then inform me. I desire this, because if the reward is large and specified (which is not accurately done in the hand bill enclosed) many persons on this & the other side of the river will be induced to search for ~~him~~ this ^murderer^ No news, Remember me to cousin Kitty & [believe me]

Yours truly
Ro T. Glass
