STANTON & THROOP,
ATTORNEYS AT LAW,
Maysville, Ky,
Dear Col.
A young man in our city named Benj: Clark who keeps a small grocery store in the lower end of town was fined in two case, in our Circuit Court, for selling liquor without licence. He is a young man just commencing life, knows very little about the law, & the fines against him in these hard times, are exceedingly onerous, & will almost ruin him to pay, He will not violate the law again, as he assures me, & will keep to its strict letter. He has petitioned the Governor for a remittance
of his fines, amounting in all to $100 — WIll you be kind enough to speak a good word to the Governer for him, for I do think it is a case [...] executive interference, & try [...] these fines remitted, The [...] will be a sufficient lesson to this young gentleman to restrain him in future, Your kindness will be duly appreciated by him, & will also be considered a personal favor to me,
Your family are all well, Pretty [...] times here, & the "Union" men are many of them becoming heartily sick of their party action, in trying to [unite] Kentucky in civil stife. Let me hear from you soon.
Truly yours
Thos. J. Throop
