Court House Springfield Ky
Dear Gov
Young Mr Chessar whose father will hand this to You with a petition praying a remission of a fine and imprisonment is a very poor, hard working young man with a good character and his habits have heretofore been good.
The facts of his case are set out in the petition which was drawn by my colleagues and which I signed. but the old gentleman is so anxious to have a seperate note from me — That I pause in the middle of a trial to write the above facts — Such favor as the facts may authorize You to give him would not be improperly bestowed
Our circuit court is in session and will last some ten days yet — Could you not dropcome down and see us. Your old friends would all be glad to meet and welcome You
In great haste I am
Very truly
Your friend
T B Hardin
Hon B. Magoffin
