Dear Sir -- I send herewith the affidavits of four of the neighbors of John Bransteter who has been find $200 for gaming -- the men whoses names affidavits I send are all respectable & good citizens as much so as any we have & are his neighbors -- from their statements I believe it is one of the few cases which should be favorably considered by the Executive & have there fore taken the interest to write you & sind there affidavits paying that his fine be remitted. You will see that one of the affiants is our county representative
Respectfully yours &c

PS --
I have Just learned that the three convicts which were sent from our county to the Penitentiary & released on the way by the Rebels, are back in this & Adair County armed I suppose & equiped & commiting depredations -- If an inducement in the way of a reward was offered for them I expect they could be recaptured -- Their names are Joseph Burdett, Calvin McDaniels & Thomas Easton --
Yours &c
R B D
