friends of Gray contend that the Court on the evening of the first
day annulled the order ^of the morning proclaiming Hunt Sheriff and that thereby
Gray became Sheriff. Well even if this be the case the reception
of Hunts Bond today & the qualifying him as Sheriff is
an actual renunciation of the order of last evening declaring
Gray the Sheriff and therefore the last proceeding makes
Hunt the Sheriff —

I write in great haste & surrouded by a Crowd—
Excuse the scrawling hand & the confusion of
of my arrangement.
