Dear Leach

I sent you a Petition which I desire you to sign or write for me to the Governor — the young men indicted are the sons of Nathan Roberts — they are very clever young men, have Just commenced life and the fines imposed if they have to be paid will prove a serious loss to them — will you aid me if you can in obtaining their fines remitted —

N S Pryer

You must get the Gov to say remit the fines or my clients are ruined

N S Pryer
