Will you make one more, Effort with Govr Bramlett & write me the result at once, that I may prepare for the worst. I have not been able to assertain what has been done with the Paper sent to McDowell U. States Marshall, do not know ^as the Federal & State courts come on the same day^ but that about the time I may prepare to appear in court here, that I may be summoned or arrested, to go to Louisville- If any thing can done for me, will you pleas ^act for^ relieve me, that my mind (& that of my wife) may be relieved.- Your attention will place me under renewed obligations. With Sentiments of the highest regard your friend
