April 1st 1887

Mr. John T Stark Orange, Texas

SirOn the 25th day of last Feb. you wrote a letter to G. W. Van Etten of this place, in which you desired him to go before a notary & give his deposition in the case of Russell et al vs Flelston et al pending in the U. S. court of Galveston. You did not send any money but desired the matter attended to act once you said in the letter "and notify me the amount of your notary fees and I will remit at once" I attended to the matter sir, at once, & refused to send the deposition C.O.D. as was suggested to me. I acted upon the supposition that you were a gentleman - of your word - & would not cheat a man out of so small an amount. Since that time I have written you two letters prior to this one wich you never not been kind enough to favor me with a reply

OFFICE OF GEO. W. WILLIAMS, Attorney-at-Law and Notary Pubic 222 1/2 West Markham Street, (Old Bank Building) LITTLE ROCK, --- ARK.

I hope sir that you will send me what you owe me without further delay. If you do not I will take it upon myself to see that the judge of the U.S. Court at Galveston is informed of your methods of doing business. I dislike to speak to you in such tones but your conduct, whether the result of thoughtlessness or of intention has placed you in such a position as to justify it on my part. If I do not hear from you soon I will take some action.

I am Yours truly Geo. [George] W. Williams
