I would further represent unto your Excellency. that I have never been indicted before for violation of any law, and that I do not follow gaming for profit but was thoughtlessly led into the game for which I was Indicted, by some old friends whom I had not met before for many months.

I would respectfully ask that You remit said fine pledging myself not to be guilty of unlawful gaming again.

Very Respectfully,
Your Obdt Servant
