Sir, I have this day settled
with William Honeycut in relation to the
Crofford claim from Louisiana I find
the amount in his hands as the advocate
of Robert Honeycut after paying debts &c
was in December 1841- $2277.61. James
Honeycut was entitled to our 8^th of this
amount which is $284.70, I could not
compell [sic] him to pay interest. He filed
his answer asserting he has at all times
been ready to pay to the said James, or his
legal representative when called on, his father
says, he has not used the money in any way
under these state of facts. I could not comp-
-ell [sic] him to pay in trust. How is Mr & Mrs
Crofford to get the money, give me their
address, and I will write to them, I have
no news of importance, Eldridge, Davis
Walker, Williamson, Schoggers, and [Millfross?]
have appointments to address the people in
evry [sic] part of Giles County within the next
two days - I am staying at home, as I tell
them for the purpose of keeping the [?]
from taking the Town,

, Yours &c A.R. Richardson
