Wetumpka Jan 1st 1868
Col. O D. Kinsman

Col
Enclosed I send you Judge Readys opinion. He has not put it in the shape altogether that you sent.
He could not do that as he said he was not ordered to render judgement but to give an opinion to report upon the case which he did. I hope this will be sufficient & you can confirm his opinion as the Judgement and send and order to him commanding him to issue execution upon it.

I am very Truly Yours
Was H. Smith

To Col O.D. Kinsman
