Enclosed you find a Petition to the Trustees of this Town to remit a fine signed by the Police Judge, the City Atto, Marshall, and two of the Trustees. The Petition was thus prepared at the instance of the Town Atto, he believing that said Trustees had the Power to remit the fine but on an examination of the Charter I find no such power and the petition is refered to you.
Thompson is a poor man with a family and one your supporters and a fast friend
Yours J. F. Hood
