Knoxville April 16, 1831.

Gov. Carroll,

Mr. M^cKinnie who will hand you this,
will show you how far I have progressed with printing
of the "Digest." The second volume is now in the hands of the
binder. The first vol. will be in an equal state of forward=
ness in a very short time, and I have all things in readi=
nes, and will complete the job in the shortest practic-
able time. Under these circumstances I have thought
that you would be willing to furnish me with
a draft for a small additional amount towards the
printing. By doing so you will greatly oblige me as well as
M^r. M^cKinnie, to whom I am indebted the amount
asked for, say three hundred and eighty two dollars.

To M^r. M^cKinnie I refer you for the local intelligence
of the place, which it would afford me pleasure to
communicate but from my inability from extreme
pain and weakness to do more than barely write these
few lines.

Very respectfully

F.S. Heiskell
