With me the period of the Legislature is a very
busy one, and I am compelled to have a servant who understands the
business I want done, and one I can trust. I would not wish to be an
obstacle in the execution of any law, but the enforcing of the one
against him, will be doing me a serious inconvenience, and the object of
this letter is to ascertain whether I could not procure a suspension of
the sentence till after the adjournment of the Legislature, say about
1st January, 1841.
I should feel no hesitation in giving my word that he will conduct
himself orderly and obediently.
I am most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
C.C. BATTLE.
G.W. HAYWOOD, ESQ.
Attorney at Law, Raleigh, N.C.
