His Excellency
Govr Bramlette
Sir:
My friend John Burns, like all lawyers, has in the excellence of his heart been beguiled by a needy and indigent client into entering as security for him — left him in the lurch and judgment was rendered against him at this Term for $300 — If you will exercise your power and remit the judgment I am sure that you will have done many worse things — Please remit and oblige
Your Freind
R. Apperson Jr.
