Ashland Ky
B, Magoffin Governor of Ky
Dear Sir.
I this ^morning^ enclosed to you the petition of Germin May praying for a remission of a fine against him of $6000 as per verdict rendered on charge of keeping a tippling-house. I neglected to enclose a line there with requesting that your reply be directed to "S J Henderson: AshlandBoydCo Ky" [...]and it did not occur to me until it was too late — the mail had gone. You will please have your reply so addressed.
Permit me to say upon my own responsibility that German Mays' case is one [...]worthy of Executive interference; your earliest response will be much appreciated
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
S J Henderson
To His Honor
B Magoffin Gov'nr of Ky
