Dear Genl, 
A letter has been received here from you in reference to the payment of the claim for Bounty &c of Eliza Edmunds colored. This woman died a few months ago leaving three children. Please inform me whether or not you can pay this claim to these children and if so send the proper blanks for identification and instructions, so that they may  meet you in Bowling Green, Ky. on the 24" inst.

If it cannot be paid to the children please inform me to whom you can pay it; and if to an administrator I will have one appointed, who will meet you in Bowling Green.

An early answer is respectfully requested

Yours &c. J.I. Lande,
Judge Hopkinsville City Co
