The recognizance was for $300 for appearance of G F Ballentine in Lyon circuit Court to answer and indictment for stabbing Jos Terrell with intent to Kill — I think it was taken for forfeited at June term 1862 yet may be it was June 1861 I forget certainly yet think I am not mistaken — I know the Case vs me is Decr term 1862, (the appearance term)

I inclose $2 & if I find I am mistaken in time of the forfeiture I can send it back for you to alter the figure 2 to 1 — I am pretty sure I am correct

P D Yeiser

From the above if you can issue the pardon with sufficient certainty without the time of forfeiture I will be glad to do so otherwise Set it at June term Lyon circuit court 1862

OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE,
Frankfort, 29 Sept, 1865.
P. D. Yeiser Esq

Dear Sir:

By an act of the General Assembly, there is a fee of two dollars allowed the Assistant Secretary of State in every case where a fine or forfeiture is remitted or respited by the Governor, and the papers for remissions and respites will not be issued until the fee is received.
