Sir
The enclosed declaration, for which search has been so often made in your office, has been at last found in the office of the Clerk of this County. The loss originated from the circumstance of the appointment of a new clerk at the time at which it was made - who was not sufficiently acquainted with the business of the office to find readily any paper or document which had passed through the hands of his predecessor. This will I hope sufficiently account for the delay in forwarding it to you. I know the declaration to be genuine - and the repeated search was made it was only found a few days ago.
Do me the favor to examine it as soon as possible - and apprise me of your decision.
I am, Sir,
Very Respectfully
Y. O. Servt.
