HonB Magoffin
Sir
I send to you through the Hon T F Marshall & F L Cleveland Senator L O Murray, for the release of a fine of $60,00. I am well acquainted with the merits of the case, and recommend to your Excellency the propriety of reliasing said fine — I would say that the accompanying affidavit of said Murray is substantially correct, I think it would be both an act of Justice & mercy to remit — if your Excellency sees proper to remit, please
send to me, as soon as convenient, as the old man is greatly troubled about the matter.
Truly Yours
C, H, Lee
