Hon. Enos T. Throop Willowbrook NY
Sir,
In 1862, Clarke and Spencer (consisting of myself and James Spencer) received a judgement here in a case in which you or at least one of your name was plaintiff and John Ramsay and [Eliza/Ezra Knopp?] Jr. were defendants for $102.43 damages [?]. In the following winter and before it was collected, I went to Washington and remained until in 1865, and could after I [Kansas?] I find that Spencer collected the judge in full in April 1863, and deserve to know if he ever paid over to the plaintiff. That plaintiff I think was yourself or a son of yours. The claim came from and was sued as a demand of a non-resident. Please give me [??] such information in the [?] as you can. If the [?] has not been [?] he shall be.
