SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE,
PORTLAND, February IS, 1828.
Mrs. John Baker, Madawaska, Maine:

MADAM:-The Resolve, a copy of which is annexed,
having been passed by the legislature, I am
authorized by the Council to inform you, that any
supplies which may be necessary for the sup-port of
your family during the imprisonment of your husband
Mr. John Baker, at Frederickton, on the grounds on
which he is at present detained will be paid out of
the Treasury of this State. The accounts must be
furnished with a proper authentication of their
correctness, and satisfactory testimony of the
propriety and necessity of the supplies. A direction
to the Secretary of State of any communication you
may wish to make will probably ensure its safe
direction.

I am Madam, very respectfully
Your most obedient servant,
A. NICHOLS, Secretary of State.
