Governor Magoffin
Dear Sir
We have seen and read the Petition of Thomas H Barnes Silas Hill and James Maupin asking to be released as sureties of Joseph Williams on the forfeited Recognizances of $500 — each.
We think this a case all its circumstances that makes a strong Appeal in favor of the prayer of the Petitioners
It is quite certain if they do not get the relief prayed for they will be sufferes to a considerable extent, the wife and children of Williams left penniless, not even the Property by Law exempt for Sale under Execution will be left to them and the creditors of Williams will get nothing
In view of the facts we heartily concur in the Prayer of the Petitioners
Respectfully
J. W. Caperton
W. H. Caperton
