Holly Springs, March 15th 1861
Hon. J. J. Pettus

Dear Sir:

Some time since I wrote to you, sending you a copy of the indictment property certi-fied, filed in this court against Thos S. Stewart for gaming, & asking you to send me a requisition on the Govenor of Alabama for him.

Our court is now near at hand, & I would like very much to get the requisition, if possible, in time to have him here for trial. I learn he is in Huntsville. Your early attention to this matter, will much oblige your friend

W.A P. Jones
