Serving as a South Carolina Senator, Hayne requests Gibbes, a lawyer, to prepare an answer (possibly in the form of a legal document) for Mr. Ehrich and to get as many of the creditors involved with the case to sign the document as promptly as possible. Refers to an enclosed form (not included). A previous assessment of this document states that it was possibly written between 1815-1825, but no later than 1834.
