To His Excellency Governor Bramlette
When the Bond for the appearance of Adam Stephan was taken I was acting Commonwealth atty. a Bench warrant was issued by the Hon: P. B. Muir on my motion and the Bail was increased from $500 to $5000. Mess Baird & Price in their surprise at so large a Bail because sureties, when the indemnity given to them was its shape very inadequate. I believe from all the circumstances with which I had occasion to become acquainted that Mess B. & P. if they have to pay the judgment would lose $2835 00/100. I earnestly recommend them to your Excellency's clemency to that extent
Your obet Svt
