Somerset Ky May 6th 1862 Gov B Magoffin Dear Sir

I suggested to you in a former note that the case of Adam W Harper was a hard one but that I supposed you would not relieve him until after judgements on account of the intents of the Comlths atty. I say now that so far as I am concerned that obstacle is entirely removed as I have given him a release of all benefits to me accrueing -- From what I learn as well as from facts within my knowledge, I really fthink Harper's a proper case for your interposition. I gave up to Mr Harper for ^a^ trifle the part due me.

Truly yours E L VanWinkle
