5.] BEDFORD, TRIMBLE COUNTY, KY. C.H.STEWART, ESQ., SIR .-- I received your note on the 16th inst., and in accordance with it I write you these lines.
You stated that you would wish to know something about Walton H.Bibb, and whether he had a wife and child, and whether they were sold to New Orleans.
Sir, before I answer these inquiries, I should like to know who Charles H.Stewart is, and why you should make these inquiries of me, and how you knew who I was, as you are a stranger to me and I must be to you.
In your next if you will tell me the intention of your inquiries, I will give you a full history of the whole case. I have a boy in your county by the name of King, a large man and very black; if you are acquainted with him, give him my compliments, and tell him I am well, and all of his friends. W.H.Bibb is acquainted with him. I wait your answer. Your most obedient, W.H.
