The Statements are true if your Excellancy does not interpose it will be quite a Serious Matter with me as to my other son Michael Fishback Jr he is illy able to pay the amount assessed against him. Should your Excellancy be disposed to interpose I will ask you to be so kind as to address your answer to me at Jeffersontown, Jefferson Co Ky which is my post office. Hoping your Excellancy will be moved in this matter ^by the recommendation of the Jurors,^ as in duty bound I will ever pray
