I have been advised by telegram from Montgomery that the Bibb County Iron property has been libelled in the U.S. District Court now in session at Montgomery for Confiscation, & advised to attend the Court. I never heard of this proceeding before receiving the dispatch and it is now too late for me to get ready for the trial at the present term. The lible papers are in Bibb Co. - [[strikethrough]] The [[/strikethrough]] No notice of the libel has ever been served on me and I am of course without information as to why the proceeding was commenced
