Cattlettsburg,
Governor,, Maggoffin I some time since sent you a petition for Mr, Maynard, asking you to remit, the forfeiture of his bond; this you did not answer there having since that been a judgement, I hope you will now interpose, it is and will be oppressive, on him to pay the costs,
I forwarded a petition to you, asking you to remit the forfeiture of a bond for $250. — entered into by JereDavidson, GeorgeN Brown and myself, for the appearance, of J. B. R. Watkins, from Mo, at the last Oct or Novr Term of the Greenup Circuit Court; there was scarcely any such thing as his getting through the lines; can you not give us a court or two after one termination of the war, by respiting the forfeiture, this we ask as a matter of grace, so that the party may have an opportunity to answer, we ask your clemency; (Jas M. Rice Geo, N, Brown, Jere. Davidson)
Respectfully
Jas M. Rice
J. M. Rice & others
Respite 12 mo
