General
I have the honor being respectfully to return the within paper for further instructions
The locality named within is in Wayne Co 22 miles from here and not within my jurisdiction. I return the paper on that account presuming you were not aware that that was the case. I shall have no hesitancy in going there and attending to the matter should you so direct, though I am free to say that if there is a spot on the Globe where Law, Order, Decency and Right is ignored Mt. Olive is the place. From all I can learn it is as near being a den of thieves and cutthroats as can be found
I have the honor to be General
Very Respectfully
Your obt. serv,t
