�Port Republic, Va., December 10, 1928
Mr. J. Frank Blackburn,
Deputy Clerk Circuit Court,
Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Dear Mr. Blackburn:
Herewith papers in the case of the Commonwealth
v.
Perry Smith. Thia bond is made to suit and include the notation
you made on the blank for me Saturday, which you no doubt can recall.
I explained to Mr. Smith and hie surety, that they
woul d not have to report to the Court on the 17th, but that it was
incumbent upon them to keep in touch with the matter for the next
Grand Jury session, be it special or regular., and be present in Court
acc ordingly.
You may consider the amount of the bond somewhat
high, however, this is Mr. Smi t h's second offence, which I felt
3hould be amply pro-tected.
Yours
