Very Good. <br/><br/> This letter concerns the high-profile counterfeiting case involving William Brockway Henry Knickerbacker and a Mr. Snyder. In 1847 and 1848 counterfeit bills of several New Haven banks appeared in commerce. The banks-- through Hervey Sanford and Henry Hotchkiss-- made vigorous efforts to identify the criminals and to procure new plates. But the counterfeiters copied the new bills expertly. The criminals then counterfeited bills of the North River Bank in Hudson New York. Here their luck ran out; they were caught and arrested in Hudson in 1849. This January 1850 letter to Attorney Southerland is in preparation for the trial of the malefactors. <br/> Brockway escaped from jail around April 1850; he was recaptured in September.
