see Gov VanNess & have 
Mr. Beeman at once demand.

His appointment is a [?] 
to a dark devil of villany. 
Spencer String graham VanNess

probability Cap men. He (Cap) is
the more dangerous many? All 
of these men (with the exception 
of VanNess) of an certainly

Cap men. Do not trust one 
of them. In making arrange
-ments for the [?]

incredibly insidious. 
      Has Games  Bigler
