Hazelwood is writing the Senator for money that is owed to him. The note is according to the docket 400 dollars, and he wants an additional 100 dollars as his interest amount. It seems like Hazelwod might be in trouble of some sort since he wrote "I have employed a good lawyer to defend me in Circuit Court. I am almost confident that I will be cleared because I have done nothing."
