The County Authorities are willing to do anything in their power to meet the exigencies of the case, but you see that we have not the means to provide for the necessary expenses of those subjects and hope that you will refer the matter to Genl. Swayne for his further consideration in the premises under the circumstances.

Very Respectfully
your obt. servt.
S. J. Bolling
Judge of Probate
