STANTON & THROOP,
ATTORNEYS AT LAW,
Maysville, Ky,
My dear Govenor,
Mr Andrew G. Wilson, a most excellent citizen, and an upright law abiding man, had an old negro man, who took the liberty of going off and working for himself, and who from a rheumatic affliction, was not perhaps restrained as much by his master as he should have been, Mr Wilson for this was indicted and fined in the Mason Circuit Court 40$ for permitting him to go at large &c, He asks you to remit so much of the fine as you can remit, and I concur with him in the application, I have send the remitted to me at this place,
Your friend
R H Stanton
Hon B Magoffin,
Governor &c
Mr Wilson gave the court no trouble but confessed judgment, relying upon your clemency.
Remitted
