Govr. I see a large number of these signers are the best men of Ballard County -- Old man Miles is hard run as stated & if the ends of justice can be subserved by releasing his liability so far as you can do it I think every body would be glad -- The old man has the Sympathy of the whole country & to enforce full payment will break him up

Yours &c P D Yeiser
