Hawesville Ky
His Excellency Gov Robinson
Enclose is a petition of Many of our best citizens to you to remit the fines against Mr Egloff.
As the petition recites he is a very poor man and also verry old and infirm and if he is compelled to pay the amt of said fines it will be utterly ruinous to him in fact it would be in my opinion a hardship which I think the law never contemplated imposing
Your exl attention is especially invited to this matter. by
Your Friend
