[Inclosure 3 in No. 87.]

Mr. Berry to Mr. Beck.

Lebanon, Ky., July 14, 1884.

Dear Sir: Inclosed you will find a letter from Governor Knott to yourself, also one from myself to Mr. Arthur, also one from Mr. Knott to the President.

They will explain themselves. It was intended to forward them to you whilst in Washington, but we were too late.

Upon the face of the papers will you be kind enough to write a letter requesting Mr. Arthur to grant the favor asked, and return all to me with the name of some friend of yours in Washington who would take them in person to the President, or would you suggest some way to reach the object sought after?

Anything you do for us in the matter will be greatly appreciated by all of us, and no less by Mr. Knott. If you think best you may inclose my letter, Mr. Knott’s letter to the President, and your own letter to him, if you will be kind enough to write one. Father V. T. Lanciotti can furnish bond in any sum for his good behavior whilst abroad.

Hoping to hear from you, I am, &c.,

SAM. B. BERRY.
