These items are for a Court of Appeals action. At the bottom of the page dated August ___1897 is a receipt record for $84 furnished by Judge Mr. Gordon Robertson and copied by the Clerk in the appeal of record in Robertson vs Breckinridge, also on April 9, 1900 another $51 for a copy of record since August 1897 in the same cause. This letter was signed by J. W. Matheny. A series of individual receipts dated August 1, 1898, Staunton, Va. signed by Jos. A. Waddell, Clerk (of the Supreme Court of Appeals) for $246.00 for Clerk's fees and cost of printing the record of the pending case Nannie B. Robertson et als vs. Cary Breckinridge, Exor, et als. Another receipt in the amount of $356.25 for costs in the same case. Next receipt dated March 5, 1898 an Attorney Wm. A. Glasgow paid costs of $6.25 in this case. The next receipt dated May 23,1900 Wm. W. Glasgow, Esq paid $6.25 (this may have been a duplicate of the previous receipt).

All these receipts were signed by Jos. A. Waddell, Clerk.

Waddell acknowledging receiving duplicate receipts for items paid by Mr. Glasgow, and a copy of the total costs of the Appellants in this case as certified to me to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Botetourt.

The total amount paid was $483.72 with credit of $80. leaving $403.72. The return address printed on the envelope was Watts, Robertson & Robertson Attorneys at Law, Roanoke, VA. |
