Dear Governor

Near twelve months ago you respited ^for twelve months^ a fine against Joseph Oroark of Lawrence County you then said that should the old man live and sin no more you would remit at expiration of respite. he is yet alive and less able to pay the fine than ever. owing to the efforts which have been made to save the Union, here. The substance of the people has been wasted.

"Sictransit" &c &c —

Yours Truly
Jno M Rice
