Frankfort -- Nov. 3rd 1863

I hereby certify that on the 8 day of Oct. 1863 I was robbed of $350 -- Three Hundred and fifty dollars by the Guerilla, James Keller, -- consisting in part, of two one Hundred dollar bills -- Keller was captured two days after, and with an accomplice was found $373 -- Three hundred and seventythree dollars -- consisting in part of two one hundred dollar bills -- the whole in U.S. money as was all that stolen from the subscriber -- and while heI believes the whole amount of hismy money was found -- heI isam morally certain that the recovered two one hundred dollars bills are identically the same as those stolen from himme. The money was taken possession of, by Lieut Col. Matson of the 71st Regt Mo. Mounted Infantry.

HeI therefore prays that the money may be returned to himme, as hismy family is destitute, and absolutely need all their just dues.

Sworn to before me this 2nd Day of November 1863
