Isaac Garrison letter--March 4, 1857

March 4, 1857
Dear sir  I have delayed dooing what I should
have done long agoa. I have had a long interview
with William Runkle the first time he ever
law farther was at Landons in the forepart of augur
 e old man told Runkle he had left his negro
with Sanford ^Kenarek to del and the negroes was to se
there masters after the old man has acted his business
at fall. he told Runkle he had sold the land and
negroes to us boys and we was bound for his mountain as
he said he built up machine t??? He said the
he gave Lewis Hendricks are nothing was he ha
give Lewis more than any of the children and
had left them more than they would take care of.
Runkle says the old man was capable of doing his own
bussiness at that time and for about two years after
and then the old man failed very fast.

   Now Sanford if you think this would do any
good in our case want you to see Runkle before
you doo any thing with it. William Henndricks has sold
out and will move to Ioway or Kansis this spring if
no accident happens him. My own opinion is we aught

to prove the payment of then nots to money ma
McFaren? we can prove nothing ils by William
if you are willing to risk money by letter write
and we will send it provision he and money see are
and a great deal of lawing in our country.
Write soon.
Isaac Garrison
