Dr Gov.
I enclose you the duplicate of a respite sent to our friend S. M. Bernard Esqr. In June last a petition was handed you by me in Taylors behalf for a remission of the forfeited Recognisance against him, and I understood from you that you had acted upon it and favorably to the petitioner; and further that it would be sent down by the Sec^t^'y.
It may be that it has been overlooked, if so, will you please consider the matter, if you have not already done so, and if possible let the remission
come. The papers Mr B. tells me were forwarded to Mr Tate. I handed you the petition in June.
The election here has resulted most disastsrously to McClarty — I fear Combs has a plurality of from three to four hundred in the County. The squatters are very numerous in this Co. as they are all over the 2nd Con. Dis.
Very truly
Yr friend
H. J. Stites
