Senate Chamber

Hon. B. Magoffin
Dear Sir

Several days since at the requeset of J. N. Furber Esq^r. I enclosed his letter with a petition of M^r Walker of Bracken. Also the record of proceedings had in connection with the fine sought to be remitted by said petition. This is a matter in which I have no feeling or especial interest, but will say M^r Walker is a very industrious, moral & poor man, & from his general character feel ^satisfied^ he intended no offence —

Will you be so good as to examine said papers & inform ^me^ at your convenience the result.

I suppose M^r Furber will be anxious upon my return home to hear the result

of this application —

I hope you are still improving —

very Respectfully

Thornton F. Marshall

Sec will answer T. F. Marshall — I acted on the case Several days ago favorably I think
