Gov Magoffin
Dear Sir.

I unite with many good people here in asking you to remit the fine & imprisonment imposed by the court against Martin Hoover.

His family have no source from which they can possibly be supported but his labor, and it is probable at least, that he was not guilty as charged. He is a an unofending quiet industrious man without friends & money

I am Sincerly yr frnd
W. S. Grant
