Kosciusko. Attala County Missi

Sir Since my communication to you of the 1st inst. I have seen one of the Grand Jurors of our late Circuit Court, and he informed me, that the murder of "Ike" a freedman (which was the subject of my communication to you) was reported to the Grand Jury but that they could not procure sufficient evidence upon which to found an indictment against any one for the murder. This is all I know of the matter as yet. I suppose you will hear before this reaches you, from the Magistrate of the Beat, where the murder was commited, facts concerning it. I do not know whither I am correct in addressing you on this subject or not. I desire to be correct whither I am or not.

Respectfully your
Obt. Servt. L.C.
E.M. Wells J.P.
