Dear Sir
The petition of Wm Ricketts that will soon be laid befor the Gov is one that I hope will meet with his high Consideration
You will do me a Kindness by Stating to the Gov that its the wish of all of our friends that the old man should be relieved from this debt due the Commonwealth. Should the Gov refuse to interpose and relieve him from it I am Satisfied that it will ruin him in all time to come. As Mr Ricketts is now an old man far advanced in years and has but little means. Hon J B. Beck & R. Woolly are here and I have solicited them to join me in this request,
Respectfully your friend
W. J. Still
I join in the above request
R W Woolly
