Mt Washington
To His Excellency
Governer Magoffin
Dear Sir
This is accompanied by a petition in behalf of Preston Troutman in regard to a fine assessed against him at the last term of our Circuit Court, the amount of said fine is $300 — which amount he is not well able to pay — The offense for which he was fined was sanctioned by most of the citizens of this vicinity. I would therefore respectfully request you to interpose your constitutional perogative and remit the fine —
Respectfully Yours
M L Saunders
