Louisville July 29, 61 B Magoffin Esq Dear Sir,

The bearer, D C Kelly, is in trouble on account of forfeited bail. Your excellency could not interpose in behalf of a better man. He is a member (four years standing) of the Masonic Lodge over which I have presided three years. I know him to be a good and true man, poor but hard working. The present payment of the bail would be a calamity to his family

Very Respy M W. Barr, agt N. O. ass'd Press
