Maysville, Ky. May. 7th 1863.
Hon. Jas F. Robinson:

Dear Sir, I enclose you a petition signed by the members of the Mason Co. Bar. — praying Your Honor to remit a part of three Recognizance Bonds amounting in the aggregate to the sum of $6.00,

The grounds & reasons for of this prayer are set forth in the petition.

I would just say in addition that a similar petition was made out & sent to Gov. Magoffin a short time previous to ^his^ withdrawal from the Executive chair.

What reception it met with, I have never learned, but suppose that in the hurry of business it was not duly considered, or perhaps overlooked entirely.

The members of the Bar all

[Page 2]

agree with me that this is a case in which your Honor ought to interpose & remit so much of the Bonds as go to the state.

I would most respectfully urge the matter upon your consideration & request a compliance with the prayers of your petitioners.

Resply Yours
F. B. Trussell,
Mayor City Maysville.

P. S. See note of Prosecuting Attorney Pro. Tem — Harrison Taylor.
