Dear Governor
Dear sir

Your Friend

To the Hon
B Magoffin
Your Petitioners would represent that they are acquanted with Sarah Meed who has lately been fined before Robert spencer [J, P, L C] the sum of $27,79 cnts for a breach of the Peace We recommend to you to remit the fine as the case presents many mitigating circumstances and the defendant Meed is a poor woman
