Lebanon March 25/1863
Gov Robinson

Dear sir your will permit us to trouble you about a small affair concerning one of our constituents — Mr F C. Jenkins was fined in the year 1861 the sum of $20000 for Permitting gaming in his house —

Jenkins is a tavern keeper and in our opinion is an orderly and good man and we think does not intend to or keep a gaming house — And we think the one in which he was fined was accidental and contrary to his orders and from information obtained we think he now keeps an orderly House — And would venture to Express the hope that you will comply with the prayer of the Petitioner sent to your ^Gov Magoffin^ some time ago

B [...]
J. R. Thomas
