At this term of the LaRue Circuit Court I have rendered a Judgment against the securities of H. E. Read on a Bail Bond excecuted by them some years ago -- He was charged with shooting and I suppose would have appeared but some time afterward the War opened and he Read put out to Rebeldom where he has remained as a member of their Congress
These three sureties but Wilson alone is responsible. The Bond is small being, I now
Mr. Chapeze the Comlths Atto was willing that I might remit all except his t.
Mr. Wilson the only responsible man is a good citizen and I am certain had every ground to believe Read would appear_ He also suffered at the hands of Guerilla muarauders in fact is one those frail mortals that falls in for as endorsed for most of the bad Debts in the Community
Under the Circumstances I feel authorised to request you to remit this Judgement as far as you can The Judgment is against Samuel Wilson & others as you will see from a copy of it
