He is a quiet peacable and industrious citizen and knowing him well we can confidently say that since the committing of the offenses of which he has just been convicted he has in no manner violated the law in reference to his business — and if he is compelled to pay the full amount of his aforesaid fines he will be stripped of all his means. and rendered destitute — believing that he has not for months past violated any law and thus he will not again offend. we respectfully and earnestly ask of your Excellency that you remit his said fines in part or in whole as far as. you by law can do so.
