Hon Beriah Magoffin
D Sir= An old friend of mine Mr Ricketts is in trouble as surety on a forfeited Bail Bond for his son. He has already paid a large amount on account of it, the portion which you are authorized to remit, if collected will be very oppressive upon him, & I really think it is a case in which you can & ought to interfere in his behalf
Your respectfully
James B Beck
