L Anderson & A. R. Boone have applied to me to make a Statement of facts to you with a view of getting remittance or a forfeited bond in McCracken Circuit Court

Some years ago W P Miller a free negro was indicted for Migrating to this State & Anderson and Boone went his Security fo his appearance -- the Cause was continued by coml chiefly for several terms until April 1863 when the defendant in the vicessitudes of war failed to come up & there was a forfeiture & Summons & in Octr 1863 Judgment for 250$ & at same term I being coml atty assertained that no case could ever be made out against defendant even if he was present with leave of court ordered it Stricken from the docket -- the indictment I assertained was found in the first place more with the view of running the defendant off than with any expectation of a conviction -- I think under all circumstances Anderson and Boone should be pardoned

Yours truly P D Yeiser
