To the Honorable B Magoffin Governor of Kentucky

Your Petitioners would respectfully pray your Excellency to remit the fines assessed against Purvis McKinney amounting to about One Hundred Dollars, at the February term 1862 of the Bracken Circuit Court, they think it is a case in which it is proper that your Honor should interpose, and arrest the strong arm of the law, they therefore pray that you exercise your clemency, and remit said fine so far as in your power to do.
