Hon Beriah Magoffin
Dear Sir
Two young men minors named John T Macauley and Wm McCullogh were fined $10 each last week for bathing within the city limits They are strangers in the city and just recovered from sickness They bathed by medical advice and were warned that it must be done beyond certain limits, and they thought they were beyond them the absence of malicious intent the excellent character of Macauley whom I know personally and the inbility of a widowed mother to pay the
fine induce me to request that you will remit them. If the case were not so plain I could procure hundreds of names, in favor of such a course
Yours truly
James S Wallace
Remitted
