One young friend Joseph T. Forman, son of our very worthy representative George L. Foreman, got into a boyish difficulty some time since at Washington in our county, at which no one was injured, no arms used, and which was [...][...] of youthful passion, and the justice of the peace, before whom he was tried fined him twenty dollars for a breach of the

peace. From our acquaintance with your Forman, we believe him to be a young gentleman of good character, peacably disposed, and not given to wrong doing or fighting and this offence is a mere youthful indiscretion, done in the heat of momentary passion, and by which no one was injured nor was any blood [...] struck, and that your Excellency might with great propriety remit the fine, as the cost will be a sufficent punishment for the offence.

Your attention to this small matter will greatly oblige
