Dr Sir,
I enclose a petition in behalf of two young men charged with gaming, the Signers are all respectable citizens of this county. I hope you will remit the fines as they are both clever young men and the amt., while small, is more than they are able to pay — You would do me a favor by doing So.
Yours truly
