Dear Gov.

Pres Howard who is one of the cleverest fellows in the world became the security for Alexr Bradshaw for a fine, assessed in the Montgomery Circuit Court. Alexr Has gone off and Joined the Army and Pres will have the fine to pay unless you remit it The circumstances perfectly justify you in remitting the fine and I hope you will do so,

I think this county is greatly in favor of Reenacting the stay law I hope it will be done, but in this as it may do not fail to remit, the fine refered to

Yours Truly
