Honor of remaining an Obedient
servant to the Laws of God & Man.

Truly,
B. S. Curd.

P.S.
I am well known in S.E. Mo.
& especially in this county: & St Louis Mo
& for my integrity and standing
I refer you to L. C. Martin, a
merchant of our town, that came
to this town the same year (1869) that I did;
& also Roy C. Leslie, Cashier of
our Bank (Scott County Bk) who
has known me all of his life.
