Sarah Huckabee Sanders' office planned to use Republican Party funds to reimburse the state for a $19,000 lectern, which was bought in June using a government credit card.
The undated reimbursement note adds to weeks of scrutiny over the purchase, which has dominated political talk in Arkansas.
Mars has said he has a client willing to give a confidential statement to lawmakers who has firsthand knowledge that Sanders' office interfered with open records requests.
Earlier emails about the purchase released Monday don't reference plans for the Arkansas Republican Party to reimburse the state.
Sanders’ office has not said what features contributed to the lectern’s seemingly high cost.
