Maysville, Ky,
15, 1862,
Dear Governor,
Young Mr Throckmorton Forman, of this county was convicted at the present term of the Mason Circuit Court, on his own confession, of the offense of shooting in sudden heat & passion &c, and fined $50. He is a worthy, clever young gentleman, with no means to pay the fine, and no doubt sincerly laments the rash and passionate act, I hope you will remit the fine, as his is a proper subject, and this a proper case for your clemency.
With respect &c
R H Stanton
Hon B Magoffin
