Mount Nebo 31st July 1826 Dear Sir, Anxious to remove any doubts which may exist, if any do now exist, in the mind of your honor, upon the points which I had the honor to submit in the case of the mortgages between Col. Jones and myself at the last Baldwin Court, I take the liberty of presenting the opinions of two of our oldest practitioners & ablest Lawyers for the consideration of your honor; and I have to request that they may be considered as part of my brief and as authorities upon which I rely in support of the positions I have laid down, and the argument I have used in that case. I will only add that these opinions have been given without fee or reward, and are consequently disinterested. I asked for them knowing that the doctrine I contended for altho' new in this part of our country was perfectly familiar to the Elder practitioners in that part of the state. I am with high consideration & respect your very obed't serv't D.B.Mitchell
