Scott County Ky — Oct 9th 1861
To his Excellency Beriah Magoffin-

The undersigned citizens of Scott county- recommend to your clemency Sanferd Chowning — who at the November term of the Scott Circuit court was found guilty of keeping a tipling house and fined Sixty Dollars —

The circumstances of the f[...] case was not agravtating — and grew out of an ignorance of the hability of Chowning — ^Chowning^ who is a poor man — and will be greatly distressed at this time by the enforcing of the Judgement —
