To His Excellency
J J Pettus Governor &c

Dr Sir

Agreably to your Proclamation, the Board of Police of this County appointed 3 discreet persons to value & appraise the Guns brought in here Now as one of the members of the Board of Police of this county we wish to know what disposition to make of them—we will have them delivered at ~~[?]~~ Winona Station at any day you may direct—

We also wish to know whether or not the appraisment put on them by the commissioners appointed by the Board will be allowed or will they have to be revalued by Mr Davis—

When is there competent Gunsmiths that propose to work on these or any other Guns that may be needed—there names are N J W Goldson, & W H Goldson & Washing=ton Ray if these men are needed you can have them notice given at this place,

Respectfully yours
~~[?]~~
