Lexington
Dear Governor
Enclosed find a petition numerously signed urging you to remit the old fine against Mr A T Ferguson, I was one of his counsel, & thought at the time, he was merely fined because they intended to punish all, He took no part in it except as stated in the petition, & I think he was almost bound to do that, The others who did all the mischief are all released, He is wholly unable to pay, & to force his mother who is my nearest neighbour, & really estimable Lady to do so, is very hard after such a lapse of time & under such circumstance, I hope you will remit it
Yours truly
James B Beck
Remitted
