Capt. Jas Montgomery:

Dear Sir. Mr. Griffith wrote you some time since desiring you to contest the seat of W. R. Wagstaff which he will probably obtain on his certificate and he has received no reply from you.

I write urging the same and demand it as your duty and our right. There is enough illegal vote in this county to last you.

Very Respectfully.
Leander Martin
