In making this settlement I have not allowed the Guardian any commission although I am 
satisfied she has had a great deal of trouble and some expense in her attention to her wards 
estate nor have I charged her interest. The Gov. of U.S. allowed her wards at the rate of 
72.00 per year from 1865 but from an examination of her certificate, she was not paid until 
1869 & then only received $509.33, having paid fees at Wasington & some other expenses in 
procuring her wards claim. I have personal knowledge of the procurement of this claim, & of 
her trouble and know the condition of the Gdn. in a pecuniary sense, and I consider that 
$500.00 is a small allowance to her for the services expense the above allowed her. The Gdn. 
has exhibited to me two notes on Wm. SANDERS of $100.00 each, also note on Henry SANDERS for 
180.00 also note on Henry SANDERS for 20.00 & one note on A. BROOKS for 30.00, making 
without counting interest in notes $430.00. These notes seem to be from the guardian 
Statements obtained by her ward's money and are about the amount found due by the Guardian. 
W. PHELPS County Judge being absent I have made this settlement as County Clerk & report the 
same for approval. ..............RJ MEYLER
