           Respected Sir:

We the undersigned citizens of Pilot Township, Vermilion Co. Ills. would respectfully request and petition Your Honor to use Your influence in behalf of the Rev. Alfred Atwood.

Atwood is now in the General Hospital in Chicago and we understand has been set down for examination. We would most respectfully petition Your Honor to urge his examination and use Your influence in having him discharged and thus greatly oblige

                                                          Your
                                                 obedient servants
                                                  Samuel Bradshaw
