Beriah Magoffin Esq

Dear Gov, I send you a petition, by Mr Joseph Gardner from several of our best friends praying you to remit fines against them which I Know was unjustly imposed upon them by a little Justice of the peace who to carry out his spleen against these men fined them, It is not the amount of the fine that they care so much for but the treatment is extraordinary hence they have petitioned Mr Gardner will give you a history of the man Adams, who is the Justice,

I hope you will remit these fines and send remit by Mr Joseph Gardner

Your friend truly
Samuel Salyer
