Dr Sir:
Enclosed find a letter from Hon R. H. Stanton of Maysville joining with me in soliciting your honor to remit a fine imposed ofn Jack Willett as pr his letter, on which I am bound as surety. This fine was imposed about two years since & it was in my mind long since either remitted or paid off, but lately an execution has issued & sent to the shriff of this county v.s. me Willett having gone to parts unknown. Governor I have lately paid heavy surety claims and it will distress me at this time to have this amount to pay, therefore hope your honor will interpose in my behalf
The fine as the shriff informs me was sixty dollars — The Execution is returnable in a few days & hope iff not taxing you too much you will give me an early answer, & will every pray &c
I have the honor to Cer
Your Friend
Respectfully
H. T. Wilson
Refence
