Bardstown Ky
Gov Magoffin
A very worthy lady of our County has been fined at our late term of Circuit Court for permitting slave a black woman to deal in some butter eggs &c on her own account. Her fault has grown out of ignorance of the law not out of any design to make an infraction of law
Her friends have got up a petition to your Excellency which I am requested to forward to you
Very Respectfully J. W. Muir
