Hon. Beriah Magoffin
Govr &c
This goes with Charley Rallers Petition — He Raller has the reputation of being a quiet harmless man —
The Baxters who fell out with him & carried guns for him had at the time no small amt of character as desperadoes & I have no hesitation in saying that I believe Raller had no motive in carrying the Pistol but that of self defence
If not inconsistent with your duties I hope you will give to Mr Raller thesehardtimes all the relief in your power
Verry truly yours
John Shuck
