To his excellency Beriah Magoffin governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Your petitioners would respectfully represent to your honor that at the last term of our Circuit Court in Grayson County there was a Judgement of sixty dollars and cost rendered in said court against Wade L Webster for keeping a tipling house Your petitioners being well acquainted with the case will state that it is truly a case for executive clemency said Webster is one of the poorest men in the Commonwealth of Kentucky having a wife and seven children having no way of supporting ^them^ only by days works
Your petitioners would further state that if said Webster's labor is taken from his family they are bound to suffer Your petitioners pray your honor that if it is consistent with your sense of duty you will omit said fine
