Mr S.A. Cox

Sir
Your favor of 31st ult. reached me yesterday, & in reply I would say it is the first communication of the sort I have ever received from any source whatever.

I knew of no action against property for confiscation, have heard of none against J.B. Johnson or Mrs Rockenbaugh. In future please enclose P Stamp for information required by return mail -

Very Respectfully
(sgd) Wm. A. Chaplin
Clk. Cir. Court. Jeff. Co.
