Knoxville 2 January 1798

Sir

I am just now informed ^by letter from the governor of north Carolina of a very great fraud and
forgery, supposed to be committed by William Terrill and
others. I have inclosed copies of the papers to Judge Tatom [sic]
and have requested him to consult with you on the
Occasion, and beg leave to refer you to the papers for information. thinking it probable that the offence, may
concern the United, as well as the Individual States -
and beg leave to refer you to the papers for information on the subject

I have no doubt Sir, but you will give the
Judge any every assistance that may be necessary, whether
be the matter as it may it should be thought to concern you officially or not,
In the mean time can forbear expressing my having the fullest
confidence, that you will take every legal manner
to bring to light so dark and diabolical an affair, as
the same appears to be -

I have the honor to be sir
Your M^o. obed^t serv^t.

Judge McNairy
