To his Excellency B. Magoffin:
Gov. of Kentucky —

Your petitioners would respectfully represent to your Excellency that at the last August Term of the Trigg Circuit Court, Alfred Lawrence was convicted of the offense of Keeping a Tippling house and fined. His case is one of peculiar hardship; the proof against him rested upon the testimony of only one witness who was a personal enemy & entertained the unkindest feelings toward him, the witness relied upon by the defense was during the time of trial incapacitated from testifying in consequence of for gross intoxication which was not known until he was called upon the stand. In addition to these facts we would represent to your Excellency that s^d Lawrence is a poor man, with a large family & that nearly all his property has been sold at Sheriffs sales to pay security and other debts. In consideration whereof we earnestly recommend his case to your Excellency as one calling for the exercise of your clemency & pray that you will remit the fine & are duty bound we will ever pray &c
