Lexington, Ky.,
Thos. W. Hawkins, Esq. —
Your letter of yesterday has been received. I have no power whatever to order the sheriff to return the capias. There is no trouble about the matter whatever. You remember that I had a petition to hand the Governor for you to get him to remit all but the $150. which he only can do.
You had better go to the Governor at once, as all the others have done, and I have no doubt he will remit your fine. The Petition I had will not do, as the date is wrong. You will have no trouble, if you do as all the others have done,
Yours,
John L. Scott.
