The husband of Dilsy has been to me since he returned from Wilmington & made proposition to give security [[strikethrough]] & [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] them out of jail I drew up the bond it was assigned & they all came out of jail last night so all is right now & only for their stuborness [[stubbornness]] might have been without any trouble I don't think I should have found them all guilty if they would have let me hear the case perhaps none but Dilsey I am Sir yours with respect Tho's.
