Hon. B. Magoffin Govr &c
My dear Govr. Sometime since say 6 or 8 mos there was presented for your consideration a petition unanimously signed praying the remission of a fine against R. F. Blick for illegal voting. It was one of those cases where the voting precinct had been changed all the others were remitted and there are no reasons why this should be made an exception Please refer to the petition for facts at large. Blicks is one of our best citizens plain good man and do nothing wrong if he knew it
Will you be prepared to "see company" on the 1st Monday?
Sincerely Yours
Jno. W. Finnell
