Dr Sir

You will remember my statement to you in the latter part of September in Frankfort of the case of young Berry confessing judgement for $150 on an indictment for carrying a challenge and your promise that it should be remitted. Mr Lowe our commonwealth's atty wrote you a letter last spring defining the circumstances with his opinion & request that the same should be remitted —

I send you a copy of the judgement and hope you will give it your immediate attention, the Sherriff having the "capias pro fine" in his hands=

Very Resp'y. Yr. Ob't. Serv't,
D, H, Hughes
